He could have, and should have, simply rescinded President Kennedy’s Executive Order 10988 that recognizes the right of federal workers to bargain collectively.

Not sure it's that simple.

Federal employees' right to organize and bargain binding labor contracts was established in law by the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978

There is no way in Heck that government unions are more conservative than government management.

I completely disagree.

Republicans should have passed the National Right to Work Act when they had control of everything.

The first two years of Trump's first term were an historic opportunity to fundamentally return this country to the path the founding generation set it on in the late 1700s.

The last hundred years of madcap progressive ruination could have been rolled back and disposed of, but no. Our side lacked the vision and the courage to even put a dent in it.

The Republicans squandered that golden opportunity, completely. And people wonder why we have a hard time getting out the vote.

Well that makes sense. I couldn’t believe Congress hadn’t already screwed the American taxpayer. 8>)

A lot of union offices are closing at bases due to lack of interest - seems like the only real potency left is the offices around DC....

He could do it in January 2021. Then the House would impeach him again, but they would have done that in any case.

If Trump did it in Jan. 2021 there would be no more elections for him.

I don’t understand the justification behind Public Sector unions.

You will recall that when the Republicans were “in charge,” they were not in charge.

Paul Whatshisname, RINO Speaker, was/is a “Never Trumper.”

Consequently, DJT’s Legislative agenda never had a chance.

Fortunately, POTUS can do (AND HAS DONE!) a lot to Make America Great Again without the House of Representatives.

PRAISE THE LORD THAT HE CAN/DID AND STILL IS!

And, Mitch has done yeoman duty for us in the Senate with regard to federal judges!
