This question was first asked in 2009, and it was asking about Van Jones, an adviser on "green jobs" who was perceived by some Republicans as a controversial choice, and who did in fact resign under pressure. But the fact remains that it is not unusual for advisers and cabinet members to leave. It happens in every administration, and not always as a result of scandal or controversy. The most recent resignations for the Obama administration occurred at the end of his first term, which is also common, as some cabinet members choose to return to private life. To cite one example, in late January 2013, Mr. Obama replaced Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (who served during his first term) with Senator John Kerry, who will serve during his second.
