Threaten to cut the whole department first.
When huge outcries rise up, then boot these careerists out the door, only retain those that 'get with the program' (so to speak).
ELIMINATE the departments.
Been saying for years that massive unemployment from the public sector, such that the value of government degrees collapses, would be a long term benefit to restoring the Republic to governance by actual constitutional means rather than by the traditions of what government has got away with in the past.
Chris Plante called for Trump to roll out the lie detectors and fire every one of the dissenters.
Defenestrate the Mandarin class.
10% across the board cut.
Ax the new (Obama) hires first.
Then keep cutting from there.

The author is being waaaay to nice, calling it 'Coup of the bureaucrats'..............It's real name is SEDITION...................
Build tent complex in northern Alaska. No internet connection. Assign thousands of them to study snowflakes. See who quits.
The real swamp is the bureaucracy.
Anyone with enough time to do a government job plus resist the orders of the President of the United States has a job that can and should be eliminated. It’s time to slash the bureaucracy.
You can’t fire people without reason in the Federal government. Actually the president can but nobody else can. So these people are doing us a favor by leaving. The more that leave, the more republicans can fill their jobs. Any President of a company or government knows, that respect for the office is not enough to get your staff to push your agenda. You need like minded people who believe in the agenda in order to succeed.
There are lots of people in the government who were hired buy Clinton or Obama. If they want to leave, let them. But I do not think many of the Clinton people will leave after 16+ years of tenure. The Obama people are more likely to walk.
Seditious conspiracy (18 U.S.C. § 2384) is a crime under United States law. It is stated as follows:
“ If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both. ”
For a seditious conspiracy charge to be effected, a crime need only be planned, it need not be actually attempted. According to Andres Torres and Jose E. Velazquez, the accusation of seditious conspiracy is of political nature and was used almost exclusively against Puerto Rican independentistas in the twentieth century.[1] However, the act was also used in the twentieth century against communists and radicals (United Freedom Front,[2] the Provisional IRA in Massachusetts), neo-Nazis,[3] and Islamic terrorists including Omar Abdel-Rahman.[4] This is irrespective of the state sedition laws, used to persecute hundreds of communists, socialists and labor leaders.[5]

“Power attracts the corruptible. Absolute power attracts the absolutely corruptible. This is the danger of entrenched bureaucracy to its subject population. Even the spoils systems are preferable because levels of tolerance are lower and the corrupt can be thrown out periodically. Entrenched bureaucracy seldom can be touched short of violence. Beware when Civil Service and Military join hands.”
Frank Herbert
That coup took place a long time ago when the civil service was passed. It’s time for a counter coup.
Every failed nation and civilization has one thing in common: An entrenched bureaucracy that prevented it from adapting.
Please eliminate Department of Education, and Energy.
And take a hatchet to EPA.
Trump really needs somebody like Bolton as assistant SoS to crack the whip on these traitors since Tillerson will be busy with the macro stuff.
You’re fired.
Cut, cut, cut.
Get rid of this so-called *tenure* law while we have control of Congress. Otherwise, we are making mediocrity permanent.
OK, dont fire them, just enlarge the White House grounds keeping office, the DC street cleaning staff and other worthwhile jobs.
