To be replaced by... Chief Wiggum? I imagine that's the one job where Trump can't afford to make an ill-informed staffing decision.

Article states James M. Murray, a "career member" of the Secret Service, will take over.

He was head of the Washington field office when Guccifer was announced to have been identified, and other than that there's very little about him in the top layers of searching.

...A while back, I heard it much questioned whether Trump would leave willingly in 2020. The response was that the Secret Service would physically drag him out, so it seems odd that Trump gets to fire the Director without any reasoning given, then name their replacement. If anyone can explain that one to me I'd love to hear it.

Do you mean Trump loses the election in 2020 and declares Marshal Law (or whatever) to retain control? I ask because I can recall that that accusation was leveled against Bush2 (by the Dems) and against Obama (by the Reps) so both sides of the aisle are guilty of spinning fantasy theories to rile their base.

More importantly... a while back, I heard it much mentioned that Trump removed the SS director to counter a deep state plot to JFK him (i.e. assassinate him).

Do you see what I did there? If this type of arbitrary, unfounded discourse continues between the parties (and their respective bases) and no common ground can be found it's only a matter of time before America is destroyed and collapses into a dictatorship, it does not matter if said dictator is from the left or from the right.

What part of the constitution requires any president to give a reason for removing someone in the executive branch?
