How about passing a civil service reform to make it possible for the POTUS, who the Constitution says is supposed to be the executive (i.e. the boss), to actually fire government employees? Current civil service laws are what have given us our out-of-control unelected government.

Head of the executive branch, but also kept in check by the judicial and legislative branch. Theres a reason the government is not a business. And should therefore not be run like one.

I think he's talking about the executive branch only. For example, if the President wants a new Attorney General, he can't just fire and replace. He needs approval of Senate and it's a major political headache.

US had the patronage system until 1883. Then they got the merit based system. If I had to choose, I would choose the patronage system because at least folks aren't entrenched. It would also raise the time preference of bureaucrats which will thwart their usually damaging plans
