Which officials can't be fired during their terms except for extreme misconduct?(1 point) Responses The President The President The Vice President The Vice President The heads of the Executive departments The heads of the Executive departments The heads of the regulatory agencies

1 answer

The officials who typically cannot be fired during their terms except for extreme misconduct are:

  • The President
  • The Vice President
  • The heads of the regulatory agencies

However, while the President can be impeached and removed by Congress for misconduct, he or she cannot be unilaterally fired by anyone. The Vice President also cannot be removed from office except through impeachment. The heads of executive departments can be dismissed by the President.

So, in summary, the correct answers from your list would be "The President," "The Vice President," and "The heads of the regulatory agencies" (depending on their specific terms and the laws governing their positions).
