I’m sorry but by what authority does the executive branch get to fire a legislative branch employee?

the only real authority
"who is going to stop me"
Unmm any if the hundreds of legislators
the law only matters if there are people willing and able to enforce it
the constitution isn't magic, i would have thought libs would have figured that out by now
Seems extremely spineless even for them
Why do people keep listening to the executive branch? They aren't in charge of the entire government, though they are trying to act like it.
I mean, there was one person that didn't in this article, and they got fired.
But they aren't under executive branch pervue, the executive branch can say whatever they want and they don't have to listen. If some guy from sales tells you that you're fired, and you work in shipping and receiving, so you listen to them? No, you call your boss and ask who this yahoo is.
And then you are fired if that sales guy is actually running the show. Politics...
This makes what happened to Aaron just that much more pointless.
RIP
His ex quoted him as saying 'they don't let felons work in there' referring to the white house. Yeah, they do.
So the president can fire legislative branch employees? Why/how?
