JD Vance Told To ‘Check Out Schoolhouse Rock’ After Posting BS Defense Of Elon Musk’s Actions

Vice Criminal JD Vance thought he’d weigh in on the national debate taking place regarding the firing of officials from USAID (the United States Agency for International Development), the U.S. Treasury Department, Office of Personnel Management (OPM), and the General Services Administration (GSA) by people working under the direction of Twitter CEO Elon Musk and only succeeded in proving his ignorance of the Constitution.

Here’s what Vance posted on social media: “Career bureaucrats don’t get to violate lawful orders from the President of the United States. They answer to the president, and he answers to the people. Really not that complicated.”

Considering that Vance graduated from Yale Law School, you’d think he’d know how the government works, but apparently he offloaded whatever knowledge he once possessed the minute he became Donald Trump’s chief ass-licker.

Unelected South African emigres like Musk aren’t the president, even if they contribute over $250 million to help a president get elected and like to believe they’re the smartest person on the planet.

Also, money appropriated by Congress for a specific purpose has to be spent for that purpose. No president is allowed to pick and choose what to fund after Congress has already made that decision.

So if anyone needs a lesson in basic civics, it’s Vance, who is far too busy being a good Nazi to comment on the issue in any manner that provides the least bit of clarity.

Vance was quickly taken to school online.

Eric Chenoweth, the Director of the Institute for Democracy in Eastern Europe (IDEE), remarked, “Note well @JDVance’s false understanding of the Constitution. Indeed, it appears that when they sloganeered ‘we’re a republic, not a democracy,’ they didn’t mean a constitutional republic. BTW, orders to shut down Congressionally mandated programs & agencies are *not* lawful.”

Steven Horrell of the Transatlantic Defense and Security Program at the Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA) reminded Vance, “Government employees swear an oath to the Constitution, not the President.”

“Civil servants & service members swear an oath to faithfully uphold the Constitution & carry out the laws, as you have. That means not following unlawful orders, like shutting down agencies without an act of Congress or taking down public data Congress mandated be disclosed,” Alexander Howard, the founder of Civic Texts noted.

But the best clapback came from celebrity chef Tom Colicchio.

“If the Money has already been appropriated then yes they do. There is a budget process. You may want to check out Schoolhouse rock.”

Or perhaps Vance needs to stay off social media altogether until he actually reads (and understands) the document that lays out how our representative democracy works.
