Federal Employee Hiring Changes: Increased Presidential Control

This act aims to increase the President's control over certain federal administrative positions. It introduces a new employment category to facilitate the President and his appointees in staffing key roles with trusted individuals, potentially influencing the speed and direction of government policies. For citizens, this could mean faster changes in the operations of federal agencies after each presidential transition.
Key points
Establishes a new employment category (Schedule Policy/Career) for federal employees in policy-related positions who are not typically subject to change with each presidential transition.
Makes it easier for the President and agency heads to remove employees from this new category, as they will not be covered by full civil service protections.
Requires agencies to review positions and move policy-related roles into the new category, potentially affecting the job security of some federal employees.
Revokes previous regulations designed to protect federal employees, which may increase the President's flexibility in personnel management.
