“So often, the president would say here’s what I want to do and here’s how I want to do it and I would have to say to him, ‘Mr. President I understand what you want to do but you can’t do it that way. It violates the law,'” Tillerson said. “I’d say ‘here’s what we can do, we can go back to Congress and get this law changed. And if that’s what you want to do, there’s nothing wrong with that.’ I told him I’m ready to go up there and fight the fight, if that’s what you want to do.”

Not sure what the big fuss is here? Pretty sure this kind of thing has gone on with just about every Presidential administration in US history.

Tillerson proved that just because you are good at one thing does not mean you can do anything. He was totally out of his league.

Good man, wrong fit for the job.

See Jeff Sessions

Yet Pompeo, who actually is a lawyer and understands the law, has had no problem whatsoever.

Tillerson was as big a disappointment as the Keebler Elf. Frankly, I never thought much of Sessions, but I thought Tillerson had the right stuff.
