44. Pres. Obama appointed her to be chair in 2011, and he can replace her

if he wishes. The problem is that Debbie wants the job as a stepping stone in her political career, and she is playing hardball to keep it. She can redeem herself if HRC is elected President after being responsible for mismanaging support for DEMs in 2012 and 2014. Pres. Obama and V.P. Biden don't want to deal with the shit storm that she would cause if she were replaced. So, Pres. Obama is "satisfied" with her performance. My opinion is that no amount of letters to the President or Chair of NDC will cause any change. Debbie is in control and she has an agenda. Anyone getting in her way will be roadkill.
