"The State Department informed all politically appointed ambassadors in a letter the day after the election that they were to submit letters of resignation effective Jan. 20."
As I understand it this happens every time there is a new president. It's a pretty strange and unique US custom AFAIK.
Generally, ambassadors and their families are allowed to stay on past Inauguration Day if need be while they make arrangements to move or until their replacements are confirmed. However, the Team Trump is having a dilly of a pickle booking 'show folk' for the Inauguration, and since you can't sell what somebody else still has, they're making no exceptions.

Yep, but since this article was lax as to inform the reader as to when "the mandate" was instituted/published,
it's all I have to go on.
I would appreciate any/all specifics as to the date/time issued as I'm sure would others.
