What does faint of heart mean?

When Mr. Wray accepted the offer to replace Mr. Comey, he knew the job would not be for the “faint of heart,” as he told Congress during his confirmation hearing. He has had to walk a fine line, trying to gently rebuff the president while not inviting a direct confrontation with the commander in chief. He has kept a low-key profile, making sure his anodyne speeches inside and outside of the F.B.I. do not inflame the White House.
