Only because he's become a liability. He should never have been appointed in the first place.
I disagree. He did what he was sent to DC to do. He got rid of burdensome regulations that caused businesses wishing to expand with money in their pockets to take years generating senseless reports before starting construction when a simple study and one or two pages of results would have sufficed.
He dumped or caused to retire many epa employees that really had nothing to do on a daily basis.

He began rolling back key Obama-era climate programs, including the landmark Clean Power Plan, which aimed to restrict greenhouse-gas emissions from the electricity sector. He proposed freezing fuel-economy rules for cars and light trucks , and he suspended an Obama-era rule to define the EPA’s jurisdiction over small streams and rivers that could have resulted in farmers losing control of a puddle on their own land.
The epa was created by congress so they wouldn't have to legislate like they are elected to do.
We need to abolish the epa and make legislators earn their pay and gain their rewards or suffer defeat at the ballot box.

Wasn't he appointed by the man who said he'd drain the swamp?

You don't drain the swamp by appointing ethically-challenged career politicians to top offices. Surely President Trump could have found somebody who would advance Trump's agenda without all of the baggage.
