Civil Service Protections Unlike private sector employees whom employers may fire at will, federal, state and local government employees enjoy procedural protections before they can be terminated from employment.

These rights come from the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution, which prohibits the government from harming employees' property interest in their income without minimum due process of law.

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

Why not do it by Exec. Order?

Sauce for the goose and all of that jazz.

It’s time to replace the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978, with the CSRA of 2017.

"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.

Can’t he get around this simply by eliminating positions rather than firing? Even if he has to completely close down a department and open up a new one under a new name, bring back the employees he wants to the renamed department, and not those he doesn’t want. Would that work?

Good, decapitate the depts. instead.

These are *not* rights; especially in re: Fedzilla. No Constitutional authority = void/invalid.

W/out the piggy-banks, aka TAXPAYERS, there *IS* no ‘income’ to call ‘theirs’. A slap in the face of those from whose pockets are used to grow the illegality of govt that suppresses their own Freedoms and Rights.

To even (fish)wrap in the term ‘due process’ is an affront of the over-reach off, at least, the last 100yrs.
