Under the new classification, Schedule G, federal employees will be subject to hiring and firing by the president

Trump signed an executive order on Thursday creating a new classification of federal employees who would be subject to hiring and firing by the president, Schedule G, for employees working on policy, in the latest action by his administration to reshape the federal workforce.

The non-career classified employees will be expected to leave in changing presidential administrations, with the order claiming it will “improve operations, particularly in agencies like the Department of Veterans Affairs, by streamlining appointments for key policy roles”.

The order did not cite how many employees would fall under the new classification.

    Biden could have used it to prevent fascism. He chose not to.

    I’m not saying both parties are the same, but party is actively making things worse while the other is happily letting them do it while fighting against anyone trying to stop them.

    Maybe capitalism needs to be removed from politics.

      Full agree. Biden absolutely REFUSED to defend this country. Not only that but he kept telling us that the domestic terrorists were his friends.

        By making himself a Schedule G employee and firing himself halfway through the term, allowing reasonable time for other candidates to start vying for position as the Democratic nominee. Duh.

          The part he missed was the “other candidates to start vying for position” by essentially nominating the next candidate on his own.
