Biden Admin Issues Rule To Thwart Trump Ability To Fire Biden Executive Branch Holdovers If He Wins
We have a sitting president attempting to hamstring a potential future president over his own branch of government by ensuring that his (Obama-Biden’s) political allies remain in unchecked power.

One of the things that frustrated me about Trump’s (first?) term was his seeming complete indifference to #TheResistance that manifested before he even took office. Unelected bureaucrats working in the ridiculously invasive executive branch’s many agencies, publicly declared war on him, and he . . . well, he did nothing.
Until the final year of his presidency when he seemed to finally take aim at the problem in his own branch of government–we can call it the deep state, the resistance, the entrenched bureaucrats who oversee far too much policy in America and who are, apparently, answerable to no one. Not the voter, not the president.
So then-president Trump launched Schedule F in late October 2020, a new rule that would allow the sitting and duly-elected president to have a say in who ran and worked in his own (overly large, sprawling, and ridiculously intrusive) branch of the federal government.
It was a great move, one that should have been made years–even decades–earlier. It’s a running joke that you can’t fire even the most incompetent federal employee, and when said federal employees are openly (if under veil of anonymity) working against the duly-elected sitting president, we have a problem.
Heck, in 2021, then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) literally sought to circumvent Trump’s role as Commander in Chief.And now we have Biden (or whomever is animating him) issue new rules to ensure that Democrats remain in their deep state positions, no matter who is actually elected by the people to run the executive branch as he sees fit.
