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.

    Just when you couldn’t beat the dead horse of crippling your own government enough, you throw it in a wood chipper and aim the other end at the public. Again, congress can’t be bothered to do their job and check this shithead because they could easily start taking away his fancy executive paper and to where he can’t have it back until the next president who isn’t him or his family or anyone associated with him. This orange idiot is a micro manager from the 9th level of hell if he’s sitting there and appointing federal employees in every god damn department at every level that has “Schedule G” employees.
