Not unless he decides to retire...the job is his for 10 years from appointment..

If you do some research you will find out that that’s not true. He CAN be removed by the president. No less an authority than the Congressional Research Service has reported on and documented this fact.

A direct answer to that question seems to be all over the place. Some articles say it would be up to the Justice Department to make that move. Some say it’s out of the president’s hands. Personally I would say from previous reading that a president would only be able to fire one for “cause”. Like I replied to another poster, we see “cause” when it comes to Comey but would the law? Freepers may be keeping search engines busy on this question as several I’ve gone to aren’t responding!!

J Edger was fired by both Kennedy and Johnson, yet he died in office.
