The Government Accountability Office said Friday that the Department of Homeland Security had failed to follow the proper chain of succession, making Acting Secretary Chad Wolf's appointment to the position invalid.

Congressional Hispanic Caucus Chairman Joaquin Castro called for the resignation of Department of Homeland Security Acting Secretary Chad Wolf and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Acting Director Ken Cuccinelli on Friday.

After news of the potential illegality of Wolf and Cuccinelli's appointments became public some Democratic lawmakers, including Castro, said they should be removed from office. "President Trump's efforts to install political sycophants to implement his extreme policies in an end run around the law and Senate have finally caught up with him," Schumer said in a Friday statement.

While President Trump has said repeatedly that local leaders of cities where protests have grown violent need to ask him to supply federal agents to support law enforcement officers, Acting Secretary Wolf said in July that wasn't necessary.

northwestraven1 Improperly appointed - meaning neither actually holds their respective office. BananaRepublic in full effect.

This dbag needs to be investigated. Not only for crimes his fake “federal” army of contractors committed on innocent protesters & their illegal occupation of Portland but how much did they hose taxpayers for the contractors & also DHS contracts that went to his cronies. Prison.

How does one resign a position one doesn’t lawfully possess?

That’s a good thing. Rectum waffle Chad Wolf needed to go.
