Obama also fired all George W. Bush ambassadors - in 2008. Former United States

Posted: Nov 16th, 2019 - 11:07 am In Reply to: Obama takes veiled shot at Warren and Sanders - LOL

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.
