She was criticized for failing to prevent the assassination attempt on Trump.

Wasn't she just saying yesterday that she wouldn't resign? That's a quick reversal.

I don't think this was a personal failing by her, this seems like Congress is making her the fall guy. A previous article I read said that the Secret Service had to refuse requests for security due to lack of funding for equipment and personnel.

Yep. Firing people (like Trump so often does) isn't the best solution for these kinds of things. Now they'll probably have someone less qualified in charge thrown into the job.

She should get a promotion maybe? Some extra paid vacation time to sort it out and deal with all the extra stress? Several people are in here with this ridiculous take, I don't get it.

She failed as the head of an extremely important high stakes organization. She no longer has the faith of those she reports to. Should have offered her resignation the day after it happened. That would have been at least been honorable, anything less is ridiculous.
