How do we know that Trump and Pence haven't resigned already?

I mean if Rex Tillerson was supposedly fired on Friday but was still acting in his capacity as Secretary of State as recently as yesterday, then who else has been fired or filed their resignation but is still involved in executive branch functions?

Absolutely. Incompetent, corrupt right-wingers prefer helicopter getaways. sandensea Mar 2018 #7

It'll be a coup d'état - but of course a quiet one that will be passed off as a 'resignation'.

And not a minute too soon.
