Well, the ten-year term for FBI directors came directly out of J. Edgar Hoover’s abuse of the FBI.

The FBI director is an agency head; in theory he can be impeached like any other. He can be fired by the President (one was previously), but that would look like President Obama was covering up “something.”

He can be criminally charged like any other citizen, and a violation of the Hatch Act is a Felony. Whether the administration has either a) cajones or b) sufficient evidence is another story.

Might be easier and more useful to pass legislation re-organizing or realigning the agency.
