Can Amrak's Board be fired?

Honestly, aren't we getting way ahead of ourselves here? It's entirely possible that after bailing out the financial industry, the auto industry, and everything else in our "free market" economy there simply won't be money left to bail out Amtrak. Maybe, just maybe, you were baited and fell for it hook, line, and sinker and any Amtrak "promises" that were read between the lines will turn out to be just campaigning hype. Wouldn't that be stupid on an epic scale, to vote for a candidate simply because you thought you would have more trains to photograph and ride? If that's how railfans think I'm embarrassed to be associated with them.
