Trump will have a pen and a phone.

That’s all Obama needed.

The easiest and no-court interference way for Pres. Trump to cut the FBI down to size is dropping an executive orders disarming the FBI of firearms when he is sworn in and move the hostage rescue responsibility and budget to the US Marshal service.

This would force the FBI to work through other state & federal law agencies.

Such an E.O. would be the President acting within the executive branch solely on his authority and not subject to Federal court review or Congressional oversight.

It would publicly humiliate everyone in the FBI, present or past.

It would demote the FBI to the low agency in the Federal law enforcement totem pole.

And it would put a public mark on every FBI agent’s back saying they can’t legally fight back with guns while any GOP president is in office.

"Remember how Reagan handled the air traffic controllers.?"

I don't remember the specifics at the time. Do you recall how he got away with it? Could it be there were not so many Congressional laws in U.S. Code that protected fedgov employees from termination?

I've been contemplating how Trump could fire hundreds if not thousands of swamp creatures since he first came down that escalator. I may be mistaken, but don't think he can just shut down Cabinet level departments that Congress put in place over the years.

Does the President have the authority to just re-assign Cabinet employees to undesirable locations? He can't just turn off their phones or Internet because that could be against Congressional oversight of those departments.

I'm at a loss how he shrinks or eliminates the departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Education, Energy, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development, Interior, Labor, State, Transportation, Treasury, and ...

President Reagan just called their bluff. They dared him because they were so "vital" and discovered otherwise.

I don't know if there are more protections now but my understanding is that all federal employees are serving "at the pleasure of the president".

He can do whatever he wants with his cabinet members. If he appoints a like minded cabinet member then he has default control over the cabinet activities. Puddinghead has demonstrated that with the DOJ to a fault.

Here an answer to my question about firing.

The members of the Cabinet serve at the pleasure of the president, who can dismiss them at any time without the approval of the Senate, as affirmed by the Supreme Court of the United States in Myers v.

So Congress creates a Cabinet, but the Executive Branch has the power to regulate it. I was wrong in my earlier post.

SO LET THE FIRINGS BEGIN ONCE TRUMP IS THE WH.

Indeed!

I suspect he could just revoke any cLearance they have. It’s not a right, it’s a privilege. Then replace any one who can’t do their jobs on those grounds.
