Calls for resignations of appointees from the prior administration is neither unheard of nor unexpected. For the transitioning administration, there is the question of loyalty to cause and lack of unity. White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer told reporters, “…there are people that burrowed into government during eight years of the last administration and may have believed in that agenda and may continue to seek it.”

There are those that argue the old adage, “It’s not what you say: it’s how you say it.” As of this writing, at least 47 U.S. attorneys have already submitted their resignations. Unlike President Clinton, who fired all U.S. attorneys immediately, both Presidents Bush and Obama considered the ramifications of not staggering the essential dismissals. Sessions, like EPA Director Scott Pruitt, questions other Democratic and Environmentalist concerns like measuring global warming causes. He states carbon pollution is a “plant food and it doesn’t harm anybody.” He does, however, add that, “it might include temperature increases.”
