Cynical muckraking on one side, political grandstanding on the other.
The concept of due process, in all its varieties, a very complicated subject, easily confused with other more or less related concepts like fairness equality free press free speech privacy.
Executive officers usually serve, strictly, at the pleasure, at the pleasure, of the executive who retained them.
It is a cornerstone of our spoils system of government as much as is due process, whatever that term is taken here or there to mean in a given context.
Being select exempt usually means that, when one political party, or one executive of the same party, takes over, or otherwise decides even by groundless whim, one's post is terminable at the will of the boss.
That relationship, normally, has nothing whatsoever to do with due process.
