100. McKay resigned
Yes he was forced to resign...ordered to, in fact. But the reality of the law is that while Gonzales could ask, demand, even order McKay to resign, if McKay had refused, Gonzales himself couldn't fire McKay. By law, only the President can remove a USDA (while the AG, by law, has the authority to remove an assistant USDA).

I have serious doubts as to whether chimpy would dare to sign the papers firing Fitz if Fitz refused a request from Gonzales that he resign.
