Trump-era executive order could have 'drained the swamp', but Biden immediately reversed it - LifeSite

Biden was declared the winner due mostly to mail-in ballots.

On January 21, 2021, the day after inauguration, Biden reversed the order. It was one of his first actions as president. No wonder, because, as The Hill reported, this executive order would have been "the biggest change to federal workforce protections in a century, converting many federal workers to 'at will' employment."

How many federal workers in agencies would have been newly classified at Schedule F? We do not know because only one completed the review before their jobs were saved by the election result. The one that did was the Congressional Budget Office. Its conclusion: 88 percent of employees would have been newly classified as Schedule F, thus allowing the president to terminate their employment.

This would have been a revolutionary change, a complete remake of Washington, D.C., and all politics as usual.

Trump's EO 13957 was a dagger aimed directly at the heart of the beast. It might have worked.

It would have gotten us closer to the restoration of a Constitutional system of government in which we have 3, not 4, branches of government that are wholly controlled by the people's representatives. It would have gone a long way toward gutting the administrative state of its power and returning the affairs of state to the people's control.

The action was stopped dead due to the election results.
