Senate Democrats are scrambling to enact legislation that would prevent former President Donald Trump or another Republican elected as president in 2024 from replacing or removing nearly 50,000 federal government employees.
In the waning days of his presidency, Trump signed an executive order known as “Schedule F” that would have allowed him to replace not just the 4,000 or so political appointees that presidents typically change out administration-to-administration, but an estimated 50,000 additional civil servants that usually maintain job security regardless of who is in the Oval Office, Axios reported — part of his pledge to “drain the swamp.” In the last couple weeks Senate Democrats have begun trying to put guardrails in place to prevent Trump or another GOP president from creating a civil service more in line with his agenda, according to Axios.
