According to federal law (USC Title 5 Section 403(B)), the President must provide both Houses of Congress with a written rationale for such actions, which Trump reportedly failed to do. The firings led to intense scrutiny, with discussions around whether this shows Trump’s disregard for legal obligations. Senator Lindsey Graham noted that while Trump may have broken the law, it was only a technical violation, revealing the contentious political landscape surrounding these dismissals.
