B4 SES the highest pay grade for non-appointed guberment employees was Grade 15.

SES positions allowed the big wigs to break all the ceilings for pay, vacation and other goodies, this is how they exceeded General Schedule limits.

Not saying there are other sinister things afoot in the SES but on the surface ITS ABOUT THE MONEY, OH YEAH

Then when they um Retire they come right back in Service with A CONTRACTOR GIG, OHHHH YEAHHHHH

Thanks

Worse than that, it is about the authority to gather and wield power without ANY Constitutional responsibility.

Why do you think Hillary wanted to be SecState under Obama?
Who wields the power of the US, internationally?
As a member of the SES serving the State Department, are you constrained to Constitutional mores when you are having a diplomatic meeting in a coffee shop in London?
