Excerpts from article:
...Senate Democrats are working on a number of proposals to limit the president's powers to recall ambassadors.
...According to reports, Sen. Bob Menendez is drafting new rules aimed at limiting the president's power over the State Department, including one which would grant Congress more authority to question the president over their decision to recall ambassadors.
...Former Afghanistan Ambassador Ronald E. Neumann weighed in on the proposals by saying it's important the president has the ability to remove ambassadors at their discretion.
...In recent weeks, there have been similar calls from Democrats to rein in the president's power over the executive branch, specifically on President Trump's decision to defy subpoenas for White House officials to testify in the House's impeachment inquiry.
...Either way, it appears the Democrat's fight to limit the powers of the executive branch and to attack President Trump are far from over.
