Do not obey in advance.

Why the fuck are they resigning? Make him fire them. Then sue for wrongful termination f possible, drag it out as much as possible. Why make it easy on these assholes?

It had been standard for senior career diplomats to resign at the start of a new presidency, which the new executive would decline. In 2016, DJT broke tradition and accepted every resignation. This is just a replay.
