The FBI Director is not appointed directly by the President and need not be approved by Congress (or the Senate alone). Instead, 28 U.S.C. section 532 provides that the Attorney General may appoint the Director of the FBI. No limitation is placed on the ability of the AG to fire the FBI director. As such, the AG may fire the FBI director at will. If the President wanted to, the President could fire the FBI director by asking the AG to do so. Congress need not approve.
