Why is TRUMP keeping Obama holdovers??!!
People who are qualified for these spots are not from the Trump constituency (forgotten men and women), instead, they are the college educated elites. They hate Trump.
this is one thing that Trump really failed on..i thought for sure hed clean house on day 1....hes paying for it now..
About 60% to 65% of US ambassadors are career diplomats. They are appointed by the President after being recommended by a State Department panel. When a new President is sworn in, all ambassadors must submit their letter of resignation. The incoming President then decides whether to retain the ambassador or appoint a new one. Generally, Presidents keep career officers on except in cases where the President has a political supporter who wants the job and is given it as a reward.
He's not. The Rats are using every delaying tactic possible to keep Trumps choices out. McConnell is helping by keeping the Senate from going into recess to prevent recess nominations.
That is a year old $64 question. Trump could have avoided so much heartburn had he ordered every Obama hire in the executive branch to be on the street at 12:01pm Jan 20, 2017. But he did not and the swamp won.
