Trump fires FEC leader who insists she's not leaving 'anytime soon'
2025-02-09
[BIZPACREVIEW] The Federal Election Commission's (FEC) disgruntled chair is refusing to step down after being fired by President Donald Trump
...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...
FCC Commissioner Ellen Weintraub, a Democrat, announced in a tweet on Thursday that, despite receiving a termination letter from Trump, she intends to remain in her post.

''Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner & Chair of [the FEC],'' she wrote. ''There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners — this isn't it. I've been lucky to serve the American people & stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.''

#3  I guess the IQ transplant didn't work. In the history of appointed positions(which serve at the pleasure of an elected leader), has any dismissed official kept their position?
