For example: hasn't Obama replaced like 20 top administration officials since he was sworn in, only a handful were forced to resign? Bush had similar numbers. The others were just like "Okay, 3 years is enough for me, CYA!" or "Oh shit a scandal? Okay, I'll just quit."
Yet if there is a scandal involving an elected official they will usually fight tooth and nail to keep their job, the only notable exception of course is Nixon.
