Evidently they serve 10-year terms, in which case Comey would normally stay on until late 2023. So yes, he needs to resign, after the election but before she is sworn into office.
It doesn't matter whether he was trying to hurt Democrats or whether he was trying to protect the image of the FBI or reassure internal critics he isn't in Obama/Clinton's pocket. He needs to go. His behavior is completely out of line. The FBI is not supposed to comment on investigations like this, and they are supposed to stay out of politics. Sending ambiguous letters to Republicans 11 days before a bitter & heavily-contested presidential election is not staying out of politics. His job description does not include funneling information to Republicans to use in winning elections.
