    Welcome to a core aspect of the lawsuits so far and under whose legal authority contracts can be canceled.

    It’s not a liability issue, it’s about details of under what legal authority based on job roles things can happen, and who is or isn’t around to exercise those authorities.

    A contracting officer doesn’t spring from the head of Zeus fully grown and convered in the armor of niche personal liability insurance. They are legally required to take specific trainings before they can have signing authority. That’s the law… Today at least. And the GOP has struggled with it because thinking and details are hard for them.
