Reply to comment by dmcnaughton1 in Biden fires Architect of the Capitol after calls for his resignation by Picture-unrelated

Architect of the Capitol (AOC) is a federal agency. The Architect of the Capitol (federal agency) has an appointee (10-year term) also, confusingly, called the Architect of the Capitol. It has around 2.5K federal employees and an almost $1B budget.

So it being both a federal agency and also a presidential appointee, means the President has a lot of power. In this case congress essentially told Biden to replace him (bipartisan), and he did. Likely won't be controversial.

I expect absolutely nothing less in the form of confusing bullshit from our government.

Won't be controversial? Lol - Everything Biden does totally sucks and was the worst decision it's kind EVER, to certain, unnamed people.

Let's just see what happens. No use projecting negativity in advance.

Lol ok - was that statement incorrect? Just pointing out that there are those that will never be publicly happy with any decision made by any Democrat no matter what - except to gloat over their supposed mistakes. Such people thrive on controversy and would not know what to do without it.

I mean, you're not exactly treading new ground here. There's an old joke (very very old) about a president predicting that if he walked on water the news reports would exclaim "President Can't Swim". Going back my entire life, which is back to the 70's, I can't think of a president would could do blow their nose without someone on the opposition side attacking them for it.
