The firing is clearly illegal under a 2022 law.
The administration is saying that they don't need to follow the law because they, and not the courts, get to decide what which laws are constitutional. It is no different than their saying that they, and not Congress, determine spending.

One thing I have actually learned from covering Trump the last 4 years is how to blame every problem in America and the world on the American president. I fully intend to apply what I learned over the next 4 years.

Among some outrageous appointments this is one of the very worst. And that’s saying something. A real slap in the face to France.
Trump nominates Charles Kushner US Ambassador to France. Charles served prison time in 2005 (in part for a scheme to hire a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law, filming it and sending the tape to his sister), he was pardoned by Trump in 2020.
