“Schedule F”: The 'Chilling' Trump Plan That Could Pave The Way For Authoritarianism

[Lakhota]

“This feels like the biggest problem that the fewest people understand about a potential second Trump administration,” one expert said.

Donald Trump has no greater enemy than the United States’ federal bureaucracy — what he calls the “deep state.” And he has a plan to bend it to his will if he’s elected in November.

The plan, to create something called “Schedule F,” would make tens of thousands of civil servants easier to fire, fundamentally changing the nature of the federal government — and, some worry, paving the way for authoritarianism.
Schedule F is a new category, or schedule, of federal workers who are exempt from codified job protections, like being hired and fired based on merit and having the ability to appeal disciplinary action.

The majority of federal civil service employees, from climate scientists to bank examiners to IT specialists, are covered by these protections; some positions, like postal workers and intelligence officers, are currently exempt. That system ensures that experience and skill, rather than political favoritism or personal connections, guide hiring and firing decisions within the federal government.

But conservatives have long complained that the president should exercise more control over the federal bureaucracy, and Trump in particular has said it needs to be “brought to heel.”

Trump created Schedule F in an October 2020 executive order. Under that order, federal workers involved in “confidential, policy-determining, policy-making and policy-advocating positions” — a vague description that would include at least tens of thousands of people — would be stripped of their civil service protections and reclassified as “at-will” appointees, meaning they could be hired or fired for any reason, or none at all.

Because the order came so late in Trump’s presidency, only a handful of agencies created lists of specific jobs that would be eligible for conversion to Schedule F. And President Joe Biden reversed the order before any jobs could actually be converted.

But Trump has explicitly said he’ll pursue Schedule F again if he’s elected. In a campaign video last year, Trump referred to Schedule F as an effort to “remove rogue bureaucrats.”

“I will wield that power very aggressively,” he said.

To hard to fire a fed employee. That is a fact. They need to be able to, plain and simple.

The irony when you compare Biden's record to Trump's... if anyone fits the description of an authoritarian its Joe Biden...

 

[Nostra]

Reminds me of government “shutdowns” where they send home 70% of government workers who are “NON-ESSENTIAL” for a paid vacation.

If they aren’t essential, fire their useless asses.

I was a civil servant for almost 20 years, and many of them need to be fired.

If you work in the private sector you cannot grasp how lazy some people are that work in government. Trump just wants to make sure that incompetent., or criminal government employees are removed for the good of the country.

Liberal logic fail. Decreasing the number of Stasi does not increase the potential for abuse. What is wrong with these people?

This has zip to do with authoritarianism. It's just a private sector leader trying to improve the public sector.
