Pretty confident to issue this right before the election. "Agencies have 90 days to conduct a “preliminary” review of their workforces to determine who should be moved into the new employee classification—a deadline that coincides with Jan. 19, the day before the next presidential inauguration."I guess there is no downside for conservatives because the federal service is 90 percent liberal anyway so even if Biden is elected the status quo remains.

As if unelected government positions weren’t already plliticized.

Government employees at all levels are the MOST protected employees that exist in America

They work less, get paid more, have iron-clad benefits, rarely get fired, and never get laid-off.

Good move. President should have right to replace any and all government workers.

The target:

“employees in confidential, policy-determining, policy-making, or policy-advocating positions,”

I would start my discussion by saying these are useless positions anyway, and under no one’s observation or control.

And wait for counter arguments. I will wait and see.

I’m all in favor of this EO it the “F” stands for “fornicated” or “flushable”...

President Trump on Wednesday signed an executive order creating a new classification of “policy-making” federal employees that could strip swaths of the federal workforce of civil service protections just before the next president is sworn into office.

If the protections can be stripped by executive order then can't they be put back the same way?

It won’t happen by executive order but it’s clear that the civil service law needs reform. Govt employees should be subject to termination particularly if they engage in politically biased activities.

If they “make policy” They Should be held Accountable for the Decisions.

What is wrong with that?

instructs agency heads to determine which current employees fit this definition and move them

What if the agency heads dig in their heels and refuse?

AFAIK, it was already quite politicized by previous democrat regimes. The gubmint employees are apparently 90%+ democrats already.
