This should get spicy.

"Commissioner Weintraub’s term expired April 30, 2007: the year Madeleine McCann disappeared, Bob Barker hosted his final episode of The Price is Right, and Facebook and Twitter (now X) went global.

But Weintraub never left the FEC. Over 22 years after being appointed and 17 years after her term expired, Ellen Weintraub still serves as an FEC Commissioner. By statute, FEC commissioners are supposed to be limited to one six-year term. They are permitted to stay in office as “acting” commissioners until their successor is appointed."

So it's illegal to fire someone 17 years after their term expired?

It's illegal for the Chief Executive of the US to fire executive branch employees?

I hope to God that this gets to SCOTUS in short order, so we can finally get rid of "independent" executive branch agencies that answer to no one in the executive branch.
