Did Patton resign, even though he had more than his share of beefs with Ike and FDR?

No, he was marginalized (Patton would never have been at the Battle of the Bulge if not for his friend Eisenhower), relieved, and given a paper command to await his retirement. We have an established history of politics screwing over effective generals.
