One person has the Constitutional power to prevent Trump from getting rid of Mueller this summerMcConnell. The majority leader knows how to do it, too. He proved that last year.
All McConnell needs to do is keep the Senate in session. McConnell used his power to keep the Senate in session, at least technically, in 2016 to make sure that Barack Obama did not make a so-called recess appointment of Judge Merritt Garland to the Supreme Court after Justice Anton Scalia died last year.
McConnell had one senator show up each day to gavel the Senate into session and then promptly adjourn until the next day.
Trump could fire Sessions. But he has good reason to avoid that and instead pressure Sessions to resign.
