"the #Trump administration fired the Librarian of #Congress, Carla Hayden, who was the first woman & first Black person to hold the position. The Librarian of Congress is responsible for appointing the #Copyright Register, not the executive branch.
...the #WhiteHouse does not have the power to remove the leader of the copyright office, either. “The president has as much legal power to fire the Register of Copyrights as I do, which is to say: none”"
