The White House announced the axe of Andrew Saul amid an ongoing dispute over his stance against unions and conservative policies.<\/p>\n<p>Reports say Biden requested Saul to resign, but the Trump-appointee refused to do so. This led to his official termination. Saul reportedly questioned the legality of Biden\u2019s decision and argued his position was \u201cterm-protected,\u201d while asserting his plans to head into work on Monday.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I agree with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ChuckGrassley?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@ChuckGrassley<\/a>.
