It's deeply concerning to see the dispute over the Alabama VA Commissioner's position overshadow the critical services needed by our veterans; leaders should prioritize solving these issues rather than engaging in power struggles.

This is exactly why government needs less power. When officials fight over positions instead of focusing on serving veterans, it's clear the system is broken.

Should the public have a say when there's disagreement between high-ranking officials over job performance?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Do you think loyalty to a person or to the principles of a job should come first for a public official?

How would you feel if a public official refused to resign despite being asked by their superior, such as a governor?
