Mebbe.
Another interpretation: a prez, tryin' to do the job he was hired to, facin' an array of opposition, might just fight back, exercisin' the powers of his office to cut dead weight; to excise folks unwilling to implement policy; to remove active dissenters from his employ; and to ensure he has 'wingmen'.
