The question becomes: Does the USCRC Chairman serve at the pleasure of the President?

IF so, the next question then is: Is it politically wise to can her?

And lastly--going WAY out on a limb--why do we need a U.S. Civil Rights Commission, and why can't we just abolish it by the House ceasing to fund it?

(N.B. I don't understand why the GOP Congress has not made use of this tactic: Instead of ABOLISHING something like the Dept. of Education, which it is IMPOSSIBLE politically to do, why not simply pass a budget that neglects to fund these travesties?)

It is not like he is going to lose the black vote over it.

I could find nothing about this on the web site that I linked. I suppose that if the last time Clinton appointed her to a "six year term" he appointed her as chairman, she would argue (probably successfully)that she is deserving of a six year term as chairman.

Why not? President Bush isn't going to get the black vote ever.

why do we need a U.S. Civil Rights Commission, and why can't we just abolish it by the House ceasing to fund it?

That would be a political problem - for sure.
