YES!!!!

I’m over the moon that President Trump has fired that political hack, but I am absolutely stunned that he did it, because all I have been hearing is that Comey has a 10 year tenure and that Trump couldn’t fire him.

I have seen more people here say the President has the ability to fire him than not. But you’re right, many here said the President couldn’t fire him.

It is incorrect that the FBI director is given an automatic 10 year term.

The FBI director is term limited to a maximum of 10 years in office.

Congress passed this law after J Edger Hoover died after and after he abused his investigative powers to assume a job for life and intimidate Presidents, Congressional members and Judges.
