No, they don't. All the political appointees serve at the pleasure of the President. Nearly all of the rest of the employees are protected by the Civil Service Act, and many of them are also subject to union agreements. All of which limit the President's ability to terminate them except for cause.As I said. There are a number of ways to show Deep Staters like this guy to the door:
https://thepostmillennial.com/dhs-official-confirm...Brandon Wright, Platform Services Manager for DHS, was recorded saying that the agency’s career bureaucrats do not allow political appointees to interfere with their operations. He told the undercover reporter, "Kristi Noem? I f*cking hate her."
“The secretaries can set the priorities for the department, but they can't actually tell us what to do,” Wright told an undercover OMG journalist, later adding, "The truth is, we don't let them [secretaries] get in our way.” He said, "If we don’t agree with those priorities, there is a lot of room for interpretation, in terms of how we interpret what those priorities are."
He compared the government's bureaucratic structure to a septic tank, saying that there are layers that allow employees to filter directives in a way that minimizes their impact. “There’s a lot of layers like that in the government. And by the time the actual marching orders get to, like, me and below, we can filter it in a way that steadies the ship,” he said.
“She doesn’t know her a**,” he remarked, adding, “The Department of Homeland Security could fall on her f*cking head, and she wouldn’t recognize what it is. Kristi Noem doesn't know sh*t” He also expressed frustration over her leadership style, saying, “To say that I am not excited about this would be the most epic understatement.”
In a statement, the Department of Homeland Security said, "Secretary Noem has not seen the video in its entirety. This type of behavior will not be tolerated. This person has been placed on leave and is under investigation…The senior official says the termination of the official is imminent."That's right, Mr. Shoots His Mouth Off is now going to familiarize himself with the expression
Learn to code.
*No matter who wins, no one gets to re-staff the government. The overwhelming majority of government workers remain, because the Civil Service Act prevents the spoils system of allocating government jobs just to people who support you.
I don't think recent democrat Presidents share your view here. They loaded all these outfits with their own people like the guy I quoted.
You're reading me the textbook answer again. The problem is the democrats never follow the "rules". They just insist that the Republicans do all the while
*Circular-filing the rulebook
*Dousing it in lighter fluid
*Setting it alight
*Have 3 or 4 of them do the Motley Crűe fire dance around the flames while the 5th guy pees into the trash can.
That's how Trump's first term worked. That's not how this term is going to go.
BTW USAID was initiated...by executive order.
