Not here, but IRL there are still asswipes whining about POTUS not firing fauci. Probably because they have been glued to fox for so long, the facts elude them, still.
WAPO: Trump says he might fire Fauci. Technically, he can’t. https://archive.is/JdD0b
Technically, the president of the United States cannot directly fire Fauci, let’s say by a tweet, mainly because he is not a political appointee. As a career federal employee and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases since 1984, Fauci is protected by federal civil service regulations that shield him from being fired or demoted for political reasons. Fauci could be removed, but it would imply a complicated process layered with civil service protections that require the government agency to provide evidence that there is a just cause for dismissal, including failure to follow orders or misconduct.
The process to remove him would need to be initiated by someone in Fauci’s chain of command, such as the director of the National Institutes of Health or the health and human services secretary, which is unlikely considering he is an esteemed figure in the scientific and medical community. https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2020/11/02/can-trump-fire-fauci/
