Here, for example, the Ambassador is leaving his office at the time, or just before, the Inauguration takes place in D.C. That is NOT usual, but not unheard of, and his position will remain empty until someone is appointed - with lower embassy staff retaining their positions unless the new Ambassador asks them to resign; however, this with the Guard [part of the Military] is VERY unusual - it is usually either many days before Inauguration or not - no one has ever heard of this 'at the moment of the change of leadership' - nor what it means.......:hock:: While we know of this one, I wonder what other 'instant changes' not usually changed with the actual Inauguration are quietly or secretly being planned with the different branches of the Military and Government agencies, and why....
Quote:Czech Foreign Minister Lubomir Zaoralek (Social Democrats, CSSD) fears that Prague will wait long for a new U.S.ambassador, he told reporters after a five-hour meeting with President Milos Zeman and his advisers for foreign affairs in the Lany chateau on Saturday.
He said he considered the whole situation where U.S. President-elect Donald Trump dismissed all ambassadors unprecedented. This had never happened before, he added.
It might last long until the U.S. Congress approves the new ambassadors proposed by Trump, Zaoralek said.
Asked whether the new U.S. ambassador to Prague would assume the post by the end of the year, Zaoralek said he was not sure about that. "However, I do not want to be completely sceptical," he added.
The New York Times has reported, referring to diplomatic sources, that many U.S. ambassadors will have to leave their posts before Trump's inauguration on January 20.
