The head of the National Guard in the District of Colombia is a presidential appointee.
He must be reappointed every four or eight years.
Trump has chosen not to reappoint him.
ZeroNutjob had it right. The timing is extremely unusual in that it only happens once every four or eight years.
This is sensationalist to the max.
It’s a nothing-burger.
I think you're right. His appointed term is expiring.
Not being re-appointed is not a firing.
