That was a choice by the Trump administration. They could have removed the entire cabinet if they wanted to. They probably, and I may be giving them more credit than they deserve, hoped that showing the remaining cabinet what could happen would mean they would do as Trump asked. Mob tactics.
Also they probably thought creating a power vacuum wouldn’t help either because it never does. Ever. Ever ever. History has proved that SOO many times.
Could they have? I have seen a lot of talk, but the actual plan that Rubio laid out is that they are going to embargo Venezuela until the government does what they want. The same thing they were doing before Maduro’s abduction. It’s been a couple weeks now since that abduction and it doesn’t seem like Trump is any more in control of Venezuela than he was prior to the abduction. Just a lot of grandiose claims.

I think you’re giving them a bit too much credit…
