In Break With Precedent, Obama Envoys Are Denied Extensions Past Inauguration Day

President-elect Donald J. Trump’s transition staff has issued a blanket edict requiring politically appointed ambassadors to leave their overseas posts by Inauguration Day, according to several American diplomats familiar with the plan, breaking with decades of precedent by declining to provide even the briefest of grace periods.

The mandate — issued “without exceptions,” according to a terse State Department cable sent on Dec. 23, diplomats who saw it said — threatens to leave the United States without Senate-confirmed envoys for months in critical nations like Germany, Canada and Britain. In the past, administrations of both parties have often granted extensions on a case-by-case basis to allow a handful of ambassadors, particularly those with school-age children, to remain in place for weeks or months.

Mr. Trump, by contrast, has taken a hard line against leaving any of President Obama’s political appointees in place as he prepares to take office on Jan. 20 with a mission of dismantling many of his predecessor’s signature foreign and domestic policy achievements. “Political” ambassadors, many of them major donors who are nominated by virtue of close ties with the president, almost always leave at the end of his term; ambassadors who are career diplomats often remain in their posts.

Excellent. Time to put nationalist ambassadors and anti/EU advisors
Skipping leg day is the equivalent of a woman having an abortion. You're ashamed of it, and it was probably unnecessary.

It's a stunning foolishness from a man that does not know what he is doing and is just simply unqualified for the job.

wow.
At the time of the founding of the Republic, the Founding Father's vision of "peer" was an educated man of the Age of Enlightenment who had read Voltaire and John Locke, and a "man of worth", a landed man of property properly educated to govern the "rubes"...ok, well, they got Trump half right.

The ambassadors to Hungary and Poland have interfered in the domestic affairs of the nationalist governments there. The UK ambassador has not placed pressure on Theresa May to enact the Brexit. He knows exactly what he is doing.
