"Securing the Federal Workforce: Biden's Plan to Trump-Proof"

The Biden administration is proposing a new rule to strengthen protections for the civil service system in order to prevent a potential second term of Donald Trump from firing tens of thousands of federal workers and replacing them with loyalists. The proposed rule aims to make it more difficult to reinstate Trump's executive order known as Schedule F, which would have allowed the administration to transform career federal employees into political appointees who can be hired and fired at will. Trump allies believe they can still roll back the new regulation if they regain power. The proposed rule is now open for public comment and is expected to be completed by early 2024.
