IIRC the Judiciary Act of 1789 simply doesn’t say. It does say US Marshals are removable at the President‘s pleasure but never said anything about USAs and tbh I’m not sure the framers ever really decided

Chief Justice Taft discusses 1789 the removal power debate in Myers as though the 1789 vote to make the Secretary of Foreign Affairs removable at-will to be a conclusive constitutional answer for all time, but Taft’s account makes it seem much more like the 1st Congress was hardly agreed at all
