Interesting that when Obama ordered the FBI to drop its investigation into the massive vote fraud which the FBI had determined had occurred in the 2008 election, none of the Democrats and none of the press said a peep about it. 
POTUS is the chief law enforcement official in the country and heads the federal government. It is his prerogative to fire the FBI director without cause. He has that authority. 

Look how many federal employees Obama fired after he was elected. Now the press acts as if this is a crime
