Yet another thread at USMB wherein the abysmal lack of civics knowledge of posters is on display.
Every new administration receives resignations from ALL the US Attorneys - and when there is a change of party, those resignations are typically accepted. US Attorneys are political appointees who serve at the pleasure of the President - and not generally entitled to unemployment benefits, etc.
In most normal transitions, the USAs stay in place until the new administration has named their replacements - to ensure continuity of service to The People.
In this fucked up administration, they were asked to resign and vacate their offices on the same day. It was entirely unnecessary and incredibly unprofessional - nothing for you all to be crowing about, it's actually another sign of the disarray and incompetence of Trump and his crew. But he does this stuff because he's playing his fools - like those of you in this thread all gleeful as though this means anything. It doesn't.

ATTORNEY GENERAL SEEKS RESIGNATIONS FROM PROSECUTORS

WASHINGTON, March 23— Attorney General Janet Reno today demanded the prompt resignation of all United States Attorneys, leading the Federal prosecutor in the District of Columbia to suggest that the order could be tied to his long-running investigation of Representative Dan Rostenkowski, a crucial ally of President Clinton.
Jay B. Stephens, the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, who is a Bush Administration holdover, said he had advised the Justice Department that he was within 30 days of making a "critical decision" in the Rostenkowski case when Ms. Reno directed him and other United States Attorneys to submit their resignations, effective in a matter of days.
While prosecutors are routinely replaced after a change in Administration, Ms. Reno's order accelerated what had been expected to be a leisurely changeover. Says He Won't Resist
ATTORNEY GENERAL SEEKS RESIGNATIONS FROM PROSECUTORS
LOL!
Using the quote function properly is a challenge for you, huh?
She was criticized for that move, just as GWB was criticized for his dismissal of several USAs out of the general protocol of how it's done.
Your example does nothing to improve on the unprofessional nature of what happened today.
I see others here continue to argue about whether the USAs should resign as asked - evidencing the unwillingness of many here to learn the basics of how their own government works.
No wonder we have a moron in the White House.
