Theres nothing to keep Congress from abolishing unions for federal employees, which were created 55 years ago by John Kennedy through an executive order. If they were created by an Executive Order, why do we need Congress to abolish them? Why not just use a pen?

President Trump should issue an Executive order repealing order #10988 signed by Kennedy authorizing public sector unions. Outlaw them in one fell swoop and be done with this nonsense.

Nail on the head. Even the FBI, CIA and new national security bureaus, from the top on down, are 90% bureaucrats. So are most of the military top brass, unfortunately.
This unelected and unaccountable bureaucratic establishment MUST BE SHAKEN UP; they are being exposed for who they are by President Trump, and they are squealing like pigs as he tightens the screws on them. Right now, they have the upper hand (because they are mostly still invisible saboteurs); but if he will persist for his whole term and the next one, I think he might be able to fumigate the damn thing, even if he can’t quite drain it altogether.
This is why I’ve been in his corner this whole time: I knew he was the only person who could have plowed the ground he is plowing.
Prayers that he is able to persevere.

“Of course, many of these D.C. denizens of the establishment are permanent dwellers in the swamp, beyond the reach of the president or even Congress.”
No one is beyond the reach of the president.

Calling it a Swamp is far too generous! It’s a “Sewer” with treasonous feces floating and clogging up our country while trying to steal our freedom or what is left of our freedom.

“As for Congress, it could pass legislation changing the laws that make federal employees almost untouchable.”
Enabling acts are unconstitutional. The Supreme Court should strike down the entire CFR.

If they were created by an Executive Order, why do we need Congress to abolish them? Why not just use a pen?With the aid of the title, I tweeted a shortened version of your question to President Trumo a few minutes ago. IMO, these tweets to him are like messages in a bottle - maybe they'll be acted on, maybe not, but just maybe, someone will see it and say "Hey, I wonder if . . .?"

Trumo = Trump (groan).
I state the obvious because someone will point it out.

The first ones to go must be the Senators that voted for Rubio’s amnesty.
Corker, Hatch, Heller and Flake in 2018
Graham and Alexander in 2020
Murkowsky, Hoeven and Rubio in 2022
God is taking out McCain

The union protects them from getting fired as in the VA. That could easily be changed. Want to cut the budget? Pay employees what is comparable to the local area. How much does the government pay the Unions????
