It’s like Christmas, every single day !
Getting rid of another Biden appointee is fine. However, I don’t like the idea that this position gets changed regularly with each change of administrations. Keeping all the records shouldn’t be political. Not sure under whose purview it should fall under but maybe the Judiciary ie. SCOTUS, would be the least political, more stable and less biased than anywhere else.
