Maintaining Nonpartisan Professionalism in Federal Workforce

The structure of the federal government includes political appointees at the top that change with each new president, while the majority of officials are permanent career employees with protections against arbitrary firing. The aim is to maintain a nonpartisan and professional workforce that develops expertise over time. The Trump administration's plan, known as Schedule F, aimed to reassign and potentially fire 50,000 officials to replace them with their own appointees. This strategy was intended to compel compliance rather than necessitating actual mass firings. The legality of this plan remains uncertain and may be tested in the future, potentially by the Supreme Court.
