[Petrosius]

What can be done by an executive order can be undone by an executive order. No president can bind a future president by an executive order.

[PeterPrinciple]

U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) finalized a rule

---

Not legislation, rule. Can be pierced but let them think so. They are that stupid.

[ShadowAce]

OK—don’t fire them—get rid of the departments they work in.

[Fledermaus]

So? Ignore it.

Fire away.

[Red Badger]

Or, there are surely some paper clips that need counting in Alaska.......................

[nwrep]

Koran Abuja.

[rlmorel]

The characterization of many of them as blood-sucking-ticks is accurate in more ways than one.

[Jotmo]

I’m sorry, that’s not true.

Remember the Obama executive order Trump tried to reverse, and the courts ruled that he didn’t have the authority?

There are other tactics that could be used to rid us of a large swath of the bureaucratic class, but no one in power has the stones to use them.

[robindy56]

Rules made by bureaucrats are not laws passed by congress.

If I was Mr Trump, I’d go all Reagan on the entire federal workforce outside of the Military, delete unneeded departments, and start over.

[Twotone]

Trump needs to come in & shut down WHOLE DEPARTMENTS. That rules won’t help them if he does.

[Songcraft]

Man, these headlines about the doings of the Joe Boodoo administration are sounding more and more like the Bee every day.

[Jean2]

I did not know there was one. I thought they were both the party of big gubmint.

[Reno89519]

Very simple, rules can be made, rules can be changed. These regulatory, not laws approved by Congress. Further, they might not be constitutional to begin with.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Jan. 20-Trump should announce that one half of all employees will be terminated in one year. Caveat: If you resign within 48 hours I’ll pay you for 2 years.

The late Harry Browne.

While he’s on a roll he can reprogram EBT cards to work on rice and beans only. Obama phones to dial 911 only.

[Reno89519]

If Trump wins a second term, this time he needs to fire all political appointees day one. That will take some prep, but sure better than leaving enemies within the system.

[Ge0ffrey]

Because the fix isn’t in. Don’t lose hope.

[Jim Noble]

Is the Office of Personnel Management part of the Executive Branch?

[5th MEB]

That was going to be my question; if you can’t fire them I guess you got to kill them?

IF you had to kill them it would probably reduce Federal Bureaucracy by about 90%.

This would be a good thing in most folks opinion.

[Red Badger]

Yes................

[usurper]

Leadership would need to be placed in meaningless positions.

I'm all for your approach, they won't be missed. There are many meaningless agencies out there that have long severed such a purpose.

It's called counting paper clips at GSA. TSA also could use a few.
