The Attorney General of California is an elected position. He could be recalled but not fired by the Governor.
- rpmisms 2y agoA recall is firing.
- bragr 2y agoSort of? But it is very different to the federal cabinet where they serve at the pleasure of the president. The recall process is slow, expensive, and rarely successful. >Since 1913, there have been 181 recall attempts of state elected officials in California. Eleven recall efforts collected enough signatures to qualify for the ballot and of those, the elected official was recalled in six instances. https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/recalls/recall-history-california-1913-present https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/recalls/recall-history-cali...

- rpmisms 2y agoSure, but it's still getting fired. Also, the governor can support the recall (And Gavin should).

Like, if the reasoning is "we should recall them because they were mean to the lovely companies :(" then I'd expect the average person to say, broadly, "good" and vote against recall. 'AI' is not particularly popular with the public.
