Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigns over Trump shooting outrage
U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned Tuesday following widespread outrage over how her agency failed to prevent the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump at a Pennsylvania campaign rally earlier this month.
Cheatle’s resignation, as first eported by NBC News citing sources, came a day after she was blasted by members of a House committee at a hearing on the Secret Service’s actions leading up to Trump’s July 13 rally in Butler Township.
At that hearing, Cheatle refused to resign, saying she was the best qualified person to head the Secret Service, which is responsible for protecting the president, vice president, their family members, and leading presidential candidates.

CNN link about Cheatle resigning
She was just another equity hire. My vote's for incompetence. She may have been good at a lower level; But she clearly was not capable of the level for which she had been hired.

I know it wasn't her on the ground, but she led the push behind it. So, if you are hired to be a meat shield for someone who's 6'3", you need to meet the regs where you are enough of a presence and you're aggressive enough that you cover the vitals or go do something else. There's nothing wrong with doing something else. There's nothing wrong with not being qualified to do a particular job. Not everyone needs to be a door-kicker. I'd loathe the world if it were nothing but door-kickers. They can be super obnoxious. But to insert yourself where you don't belong is a huge issue. It's why you'll never see me popping hoods, fixing engines or engineering the wings on an aeroplane. That's not my space. Know who you are. Know what you don't.
She's was asleep at the wheel of the SS and yet totally woke with the way it ran......coupled with total incompetence. I hope there wasn't a conspiracy that put the assassin on the roof but she should have resigned due to these things regardless. She seems to be an awful person to be around.

Actually, she should have been fired for not doing her director of Secret Service job immediately.

It's one thing to give preference to an equally qualified applicant/candidate, but it's NOT OK to give preference to a less qualified or unqualified applicant/candidate. It is far better to leave a position vacant and let the next person in line be an acting thus-and-such, until a qualified person can be hired, than to hire an under or unqualified person.
If the person formerly in the position failed to train his or her next-in-line to be fully capable of stepping in without notice, and for any length of time, shame on him or her, and that, in and of itself, is a dereliction of duty. If that next-in-line is incapable, even after training and retraining, he or she has to go. Inability to fill in for a supervisor, especially at that level, is an inability to fulfill the requirements of his or her next-in-line job/position. Taking care of continuity of operations (COO), especially in certain positions and levels is an absolute must.
Unfortunately, the Peter Principle. In some positions, it's catastrophic/deadly
Normally, it takes a minimum of 92 days to fire someone in the US Civil Service, and everything has to be done exactly right and at the exact right time (most of the time the supervisor messes up and it takes a lot longer)
I walked/taught/coached someone through doing this because one of his subordinate's incompetence and refusal (not inability) to learn and perform the job to standard was going to kill people. As it was, that subordinate's less-than-four months' tenure in the job (including the 92 days we spent getting rid of the incompetent employee) cost thousands of man-hours fixing all the mistakes/on-purposes and preventing unnecessary death
Plus a LOT of money
I don't know if there are provisions in US Civil Service that allow for a faster firing in the event of something extraordinarily egregious, or anything pertinent in the Senior Executive Service (SES) level rules and regs.

I saw this rather disturbing video from Senator Josh Hawley talking to Fox news. Hawley Reacts To NEW Whistleblower Allegations: Secret Service Needs To Be Totally Overhauled
in which he outlines some stuff that is coming out about the mismanagement of that whole day.
