But would otherwise continue on, unless they were explicitly fired. Like Obamas first defense secretary, Robert Gates, continued from the Bush administration.

asks them to. Its not like Gates refused to leave and Obama couldnt or wouldnt fire him.

But there is no automatic firing they voluntarily tender their resignations.
