"General Schwartz was appointed to serve as the Commanding General of the District of Columbia National Guard by President Bush in June 2008. President Obama reappointed him in January 2009."

Why would Obama appoint Schwartz in Jan. 2009, when he was already appointed by Bush in 2008.

That would suggest that the appointment typically extends to the end of a presidential term.

If that is the case, then this story is a big nothing.
