David Bernhardt is the current U.S. secretary of the interior. He assumed the role as acting secretary on January 2, 2019, when former Secretary Ryan Zinke resigned. Trump formally nominated Bernhardt to the position on March 11, 2019, and the U.S. Senate confirmed him on April 11, 2019, on a 56-41 vote.[2]
The department oversees various federal agencies including: the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), U.S. Bureau of Land Management, the U.S. National Park Service (NPS), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the U.S. Geological Survey.[3]
Almost four months without a Senate vote.
So, instead of firing them, President Trump can order that their headquarters be relocated to an area of federal land near ANWR and insist that all employees wishing to remain employed relocate to the new office.

The sooner the oil is removed from that area, the sooner the threat to the wildlife will go away.
