In the real world, they would all be fired, then allowed to re-apply for the positions. You then hire back the 1/3 you like, and repeat as necessary. It isn’t that difficult.

Also check to see if said regulations are also duplicated with the EPA’s time frame and external duplication with @ Dept of Energy, Interior, BLM etc. My guess is their is duplication and they don’t even know it.
Thrown in elimination of NEA and a 75% reduction in CIA and NSA budgets are we’re getting somewhere.
