Right now, the VA Secretary or the new secretary, whenever we have one in place, if you identify some sort of senior executive who isn’t doing their job – say running a VA hospital – you can’t fire them. You have no power to go in and just fire them.”https://www.rubio.senate.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/SMR-Twitter-image-9-1024x576.png1024576
