Trump Admin Institutes 80-Hour Constitution Course for ‘Deep State’ Execs

Pass or Hang!

[\/\/ayne]

I've posted that all elected politicians, higher political appointees and the like need a yearly course on the Constitution - just like they have them on IT Security and Workplace Behavior - for about 25 years!

I have to wonder if one of my posts perculated through.

They take an oath to protect and preserve the constitution. One should not take oaths lightly.

[Lisbon1940]

I remember on my first job, I spent the first two weeks watching training videos.

[Starboard]

Yes, a worthwhile education for these execs but the real problem is a complete lack of accountability in DC. Until that changes, nothing will change.

[RinaseaofDs]

We should end the SES. It’s the root of the deep state.

[HYPOCRACY]

After they take the course, fire them.

[rdcbn1]

This is not just symbolic - it's setting people in government up for termination if they violate the Constitution.

President Trump's team is quietly but very carefully laying the legal and administrative foundation to take very aggressive measures against a wide spectrum of undesirable and destructive segments of our society chief amount them rouge bureaucrats and illegal aliens.

[Salman]

It's nice in a way, but not all the Deep State is in the federal bureaucracy.

A lot of it is NGOs, corporations, and even private individuals.

[Lurker]

The entire SES and their combined staffs should have been fired on Day One.

Every last one of them.

“rouge bureaucrats…”

They’re as bad as rogue bureaucrats.

[rdcbn1]

Worse actually :-).

FWIW, I did a spell check before posting

[Nebr FAL owner]

Is it pass/fail you get to update your resume or just meeting room lecture that will achieve nothing.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Grand idea!

[Ronaldus Magnus III]

I’ve read that the first year at Hillsdale College is an intense, deep-dive into the glory that is the Founding of the United States of America.

Perhaps this could also be mandatory. In fact, make them pay for Hillsdale out of their own pocket. THEN, they would have some skin in the game.

[Pajamajan]

Good!

[Regulator]

“Every last one of them”

Oh they could be allowed to re-apply for their jobs.

That would establish the real point: they’re employees, not royalty.

The Constitution that they are going to be familiarized with - and which they will then routinely ignore - mentions that no titles of nobility will be conferred. But that’s precisely what the SES is: titled nobility, unassailable, and usually protected by Sovereign Immunity.

There’s not a single person who fought the Revolution for such a group to be part of the government of the United States.

[Mlheureux]

Will probably be the first time they actually learn about the constitution. Need the DOI as well.
