FLASHBACK: President Barack Obama Fired All George W. Bush-Appointed Ambassadors in 2008 Ron Sachs-Pool/Getty Images CHARLIE SPIERING 15 Nov 2019 Former United States ambassador Marie Yovanovitch testified Friday about her dismay upon being fired by President Donald Trump, but it’s actually quite common for presidents to do so after taking office. The State Department issued a December 2008 notice to Bush-appointed ambassadors to submit their resignations, effective when President Barack Obama took office in 2009, according to the Washington Post. A State Department official told Agence France Presse at the time that demanding all previously appointed ambassadors resign was routine. “It’s a normal procedure for ambassadors, career and non-career, to submit their resignations. And what happens is that all of them do,” the official said at the time. Typically, some career ambassadors are later allowed to stay in place on a case by case basis until they are replaced. Trump also issued a notice asking all Obama-appointed ambassadors to submit their resignations when he prepared to take office, which created controversy at the time, as it appeared that he would not allow extensions. Yovanovitch was first appointed by Obama in 2016 and confirmed by the Senate. She was askedby the Trump-run State Department to stay on as an ambassador to Ukraine through 2020, but she was fired in May 2019. Politics ambassador Barack Obama Marie Yovanovitch State Department
