A president may remove a director with adequate cause.
Congress can also remove an FBI director by impeachment. Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution says that any civil officer can be removed if the Senate convicts him of "treason,bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors." A two-thirds vote is required for conviction.
In any situation, however, it is much more likely that the president would ask an FBI director to resign rather than fire him. Bill Clinton dismissed Sessions only after he refused to resign.
