..... Why would he need a law ... Isn't this what is supposed to happen when a new administration comes in?

... However .... What most newbie Prez's don't realize is that there is an entire rank and file that have been placed over the years in strategic positions by previous administrations to prevent serious changes to Legacy and other devious nefarious goals making it nearly impossible to function in a proper constitutional way as a government of the people.

.... Yup .... In effect ... they have become a shadow government unto themselves serving and defending those that placed them there.

... If Mr. Trump becomes President .... This may actually be one of his greatest accomplishments .... Unfortunately though ... Me thinks there may be a little resistance from shadow personnel.

No heat or clothing allowances. The buy their own.
Oh, and what a shame that the connections they must buy and at the standards of the NSA only! Meaning no bathroom servers administered by the neighborhood geek.
Worse for them, all laws on security will be strictly enforced.
Convenient that Alaska is the perfect place for a new detention facility.
How many do you think will even want to remain as gov. teat suckers?

"If they are appointed, they can be de-appointed. Happens all the time."

Absolutely correct. To the victor goes the spoils.

He does need law to fire career employees of any agency because previous Congresses passed and POTUS signed laws to leave that to the budget process and bureaucrats. And those agencies have signed contracts with unions.

It appears he will be seeking legal authority for his agency heads to fire those who are working against the stated agenda.

And if it happens it will be the best thing to happen in American governance in at least 30 years.

"The procedures that federal government agencies must follow when terminating an employee appear in the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978. "

That is written law and it can be changed by any Congress with POTUS signature.

He needs to fire EVERY federal employee and if they want their job back they will need to go through the normal hiring/screening process.

And do away with the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS).

A 401K and Social Security should be enough for them.

While we're at it, we need term limits on all legislators.

And NO PENSIONS!

My plan would be to build a federal office building in Barrow, Alaska. (above the Artic Circle) If I couldn't fire someone as president, I'd at least be able to transfer them to the government office building in Barrow. After a few winters in lonely, cold Barrow, far away from the cocktail parties of DC, most would get the hint and leave the government.

You guys clearly don’t know how civil service rules work. The issue is Obamanoids hired in civil service positions, not the overt political appointees who change with the Administration.

We face the same issue in the military.

This will need to be done because of all the appointments
Hussein Obama has made. (This is also nothing new or
extreme and always happens, or almost always happens with
a new administration.)

“It would be cool to see some GS-99 rangers.”

LOL, go ogled them and that position would ensure most leave.
LOL!!!

Now just remember that we will still need to pay Obola and crew. Write a law that says they will be covered only within the limits of the affordable care act coverage ONLY!

"You guys clearly don’t know how civil service rules work. "

Any Civil Service rule is supported by underlying law.

A law can be rescinded or modified with another law...and new rules can be written.

This is clearly within the power of the Congress as long as they can obtain signature of the President.

There are no other underlying Constitutional principles at stake.

I agree. My understanding was that only extreme liberals were hired at the justice department the last eight years. They were supposed to be non-partisan.

Good, yes, but what about this ‘burrowing’ tactic? They have more than two months to get that done.

Is there/will there be a plan to get rid of these communists anyway? I hope so.

-24? That’s downright balmy.
Since the Obamanoids like socialism so much, let’s give them their own GULAG.
