Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
Having withdrawn from his reelection bid and acknowledged the possibility that former President Donald Trump may succeed him, President Joe Biden has worked with Democrats and his federal agencies to lock in a legacy that won’t be easy for Trump to erase. From pumping out regulations to insulating government scientists to enshrining foreign policy commitments, the Biden administration is leaving behind policies that will be procedurally difficult or politically costly to abandon.
Trump created an employee classification called Schedule F late in his first term, which would bring about 50,000 “confidential, policy-determining, policy-making or policy-advocating” jobs under the president’s control. Currently, presidents can appoint about 4,000 people in the federal workforce. Once that window lapses, a future Trump or Republican administration would need to wade through a lengthy notice and comment process in order to reinstitute the rules. Trump has promised to bring back Schedule F on day one, but in reality he may only be able to launch the beginning of a process that could take more than a year to finalize.CNN in April.
