I don't see the issue. If he wants to fire someone, he can do so.

I haven't read the whole thread and I imagine this has been covered but I thought Ambassadorships were pretty plum assignments and usually went to major contributors or friends of the President. Plus, most are replaced when the new President takes over. It really doesn't matter what ABC thinks they have because all Ambassadors serve at the behest of their boss, i.e., the President.
