In a New York Times essay, two attorneys, one of whom served in the Obama administration, argue that Trump's appointment of Matthew Whitaker is illegal and unconstitutional. Article II, Section 2, the Appointments Clause, was ratified in 1788 and stipulates that the President "shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint ... Officers of the United States..." Trump ignored the Constitution -- so what else is new? -- and made the appointment without any pesky ol' nomination and without any pesky ol' confirmation by the Senate.
