If Kirsten Nielsen is indeed resigning, her career should be taught as a textbook example of why itâÂÂs better to resign early rather than desperately cling to a Cabinet job. Especially with Trump.â Walter Shapiro (@MrWalterShapiro) April 7, 2019

Read about Kirstjen Nielsen. Then read my profile of the guy who was likely behind what happened to her (they cannot stand each other) but who probably left no fingerprints. https://t.co/pzTszMuPt4â Nahal Toosi (@nahaltoosi) April 7, 2019

As @AJosephOConnell noted, it isnâÂÂt at all clear that @realDonaldTrump has the power to use the Federal Vacancies Reform Act to name an Acting DHS Secretary. Instead, 6 U.S.C. ç 113(g) suggests it should be Claire Grady, the Undersecretary for Management (and Acting Deputy). https://t.co/0Tvs1zdV68â Steve Vladeck (@steve_vladeck) April 7, 2019

Cucinelli is for real as a potential replacement being floated. Perry far less so.
