Ban on Political Loyalty Tests for Federal Employees

This act aims to protect federal employees from being subjected to political loyalty tests. This means no one can be forced to prove their political views to get a government job, be promoted, or renew a contract. Citizens can therefore be assured that officials are chosen based on qualifications, not political affiliation.
Key points
Prohibition of political loyalty tests: No federal official, including the President, may administer political loyalty tests to federal employees.
Employment protection: Loyalty tests cannot be a condition for federal employment, promotion, or contract renewal.
Broad scope: The ban applies to all federal employees, including those appointed by the President and postal workers.
