Why are they still employed? Can The People remove them if the government won’t?

Does President Trump Now Have the Authority to FIRE Government Employees?

Not sure, but he absolutely has the Authority to Transfer Anyone he wants to Puerto Rico.

Nope. You’d have to break the unions first. Do that, and a LOT of problems (including some deficit issues) go away over night.

No.

But can terminate exempt employees, for cause, and terminate their programs - positions in the budget.

would you want someone like HRC or BHO to have the power to arbitrarily fire folks?

He certainly can fire political appointees. For others, he can’t directly fire them, but may be able to have them re-assigned, and/or maybe demoted. Not sure there.

No. But even if he did there are many things a President should NOT do even if he has the power to do them.

Tagline.

I believe he does....It was part of the Homeland Security Package after 9-11.

Through an ‘executive order’ can he not do pretty much anything he wants?

Regardless - He can order the United States military to bomb the hell out of any country, and could even order them to bomb California. So while he may not have the ‘authority’ to fire somebody, he could have the military bomb their location and eliminate them... Thereby making the need to actually fire them redundant.

Does President Trump Now Have the Authority to FIRE Government Employees?

Of course; always has had, if it involves and adversely affects the Constitutional functioning of the Executive branch of government, according to the empowering sections of the Constitution.

The empowering sections for the Legislative branch cannot adversely affect the proper functioning of the other two branches no matter how many "laws" they pass.

Had that separation been violated, and no challenge was made, a rogue conspiring congress could allow abuses by a rogue president, and precedent would have been set, if not cemented forever, as the Kenyan African criminally fake president demonstrated; so long as the co-conspirators Congress went along.
As demonstrated, We The People lack standing to challenge the crimes.

If a corrupt Judicial is also complicit, the treasonous dirty coup is a done deal.

As long as nothing else changes, what are the chances of reversing that coup?

Having three perverts (one male, 2 females) on the Supreme Court is a never discussed exacerbating factor.

we’ll know in june. if the SCOTUS rules that union dues are speech then fed unions go away and terminating non productive fed employees will be possible. reports indicate were likely to be pleasantly surprised.

What is the nastiest assignment they could be sent on?
Then create something 3 times as worse and send them there.

Nope - he can fire those he appoints but not delve into the lower levels.

There are two types of DC swamp creatures. There are political appointees and regular GS swampers. The political appointees can be fired at will. The GS swampers get “due process”. But they can be terminated.

There was legislation introduced by Rep. Todd Rokita (R-Ind.) a tool for President Trump to use in draining the swamp, but I don't believe it has ever gone anywhere as of yet. However, as far as I understood it it really only dealt with new hires, and not existing federal employees.

all federal employess can be fire switching the executive branch by the president through his cabinet and managers.

It is easier with political appointments.
