Biden Admin Issues Rule To Thwart Trump Ability To Fire Biden Executive Branch Holdovers If He Wins


We have a sitting president attempting to hamstring a potential future president over his own branch of government by ensuring that his (Obama-Biden’s) political allies remain in unchecked power.


One of the things that frustrated me about Trump’s (first?) term was his seeming complete indifference to #TheResistance that manifested before he even took office. Unelected bureaucrats working in the ridiculously invasive executive branch’s many agencies, publicly declared war on him, and he . . . well, he did nothing.

Until the final year of his presidency when he seemed to finally take aim at the problem in his own branch of government–we can call it the deep state, the resistance, the entrenched bureaucrats who oversee far too much policy in America and who are, apparently, answerable to no one. Not the voter, not the president.

So then-president Trump launched Schedule F in late October 2020, a new rule that would allow the sitting and duly-elected president to have a say in who ran and worked in his own (overly large, sprawling, and ridiculously intrusive) branch of the federal government.

Let them make whatever dumb rules they want. As soon as Trump declares himself king, by law, those rules will disappear.

I googled a bit on Schedule F and found this on the Wiki page:

quote:

In mid-2022, it was reported that Trump and his allies planned to reinstate the Schedule F provisions if he were elected to a second term,[1] including identifying around 50,000 workers who could be reclassified.[14]


So would that mean Trump (or any POTUS) have to appoint all of those positions?

Theoretically

The sales pitch is they would be gone, I believe

Maybe he will take some advice from Milei or Putin on what to do about them.

Why is this necessary? I thought Trump couldn't win.

Trump can just undo it right?

I don't think this is an EO.

If it is not an executive order then it's not something he can just undo. You have to go through the administrative procedure act, which was a thorn in his side his entire administration.

I foresee a new night shift happening in Washington DC with mandatory presence and only Monday and Thursdays off. Much work needed in places like the north slope in winter and Death Valley in summer.

All odd social security numbers get fired across the BS executive agencies should defeat that rule nicely

Statutes are already in place to allow massive firings, re-scaling the govt etc for 'efficiency', national security, etc. None of that would be under the APA or merit boards. This is not rule making or adjudication. It's executive action via enacted statute.
