So often, the president would say here’s what I want to do and here’s how I want to do it and I would have to say to him, Mr. President I understand what you want to do but you can’t do it that way. It violates the law.

— Former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, speaking of his strained working relationship with President Donald Trump during an interview with Bob Schieffer of CBS News. Tillerson went on to call Trump a “pretty undisciplined” man who “doesn’t like to read” and “doesn’t like to get into the details of … things.”
