Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Ajit Pai said he plans to leave the commission on Jan. 20, 2021.

Typical way Republicans still have no clue about how to deal with government. Under the same circumstances, the RATS always have the outgoing whatever resign before so that the new RAT appointee remains entrenched. That's how we're stuck with them all over the place. I have no problem with Pai leaving, but at least go on January 1 so that the rest of us have a fighting chance because President Trump names his successor.

I’ve read the Prez. typically names the heads of agencies like the FCC, so any replacement would be short lived if Biden succeeds.

.....serve at the pleasure of the President.

.....and that won’t be Biden when all said & done.

No, Pai is following the normal custom here. His predecessor as Chairman was Tom Wheeler, appointed by Obama in 2013. Wheeler did not resign right near the end of Obama's term, enabling Obama to entrench a successor. Instead, he made his resignation effective January 20, 2017. That enabled Trump to immediately appoint Pai as Wheeler's successor.
