When was the last time a President fired a member of his cabinet?

What’s the difference between “fired” and “forced to resign?”

A lot if Cabinet members get to collect unemployment.

Had she not been fired, and had Trump wanted to keep her for four years, would she have to be confirmed?

@Okrahoma

Yes.

Yes and no. He could have kept her in office indefinitely by putting up a nominee who the Senate rejected. He’d have 120 days to nominate someone, then another 120 days to nominate someone else after the Senate vote.
