TERM LIMITS. Two terms in congress and out, to live under the laws you passed.
ALL POLITICAL DONATIONS TO BE ANONYMOUS. You can't sell influence if you don't know who is buying. Americans should be permitted to donate any amount they want to any candidate or party they choose; that's FREEDOM. But purchasing an outcome makes it BRIBERY, a crime.
Civil Service Realignment Act: Move supervisory personnel among departments and agencies on a regular basis, to prevent the establishment of fiefdoms. Eliminate about two thirds of the existing departments, due to redundancy.
“Civil Service Realignment Act: Move supervisory personnel among departments and agencies on a regular basis, to prevent the establishment of fiefdoms.”
While that is a really good idea I think that Civil Service hires should be subject to the same term limits as politicians. Make them all contractors with contractual non-renewable limits on the life of their employment. The same ‘real world’ argument should apply. At the end of their contract it should be “Thank you for your service. Now go out and get a real job.” Oh another stipulation, you cannot be re-hired at any Federal job for 10 or more years.
When the new Congress is seated in January, assuming it will be primarily MAGA, one of the first things it needs to do is to pass a law (codify this, do not let it be an executive order) that ALL civil service, foreign service, intelligence service, and military service personnel hold their positions at the sufferance of the President. And, all contracts and contractors, down to the lowest levels, are subject to cancellation by an administration. Unions be damned, if officers of the federal government and contractors thereto cannot serve honorably, there needs to be a mechanism established that allows them to be put out the door.
