Senior positions this high up are all appointed, and serve at the pleasure of the president- they can get fired at his very whim. No justifications required. Nothing to do with civil servants...
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.https://twitter.com/GOPLeader/status/1037721137411751937 …

These aren't the positions I refer to. I'm talking about the permanent unelected positions, our anti-democratic civil "servants", many of whom are behaving seditiously (incl. failure to follow instructions) against their current constitutional executive & his appointees.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Unfortunately there’s far too much revolving door behavior between the civil services/private companies and other branches of the govt. Admin state is still far too strong. Overturning Chevron might help reduce the power of the unelected bureaucrats
-
Chevron deference is indeed a big part of the problem, but most of the problem is caused by our anti-democratic and anti-constitutional civil service laws.
-
Agreed, but it’s all part of the “beltway” culture that grants extreme deference to the so called “wisdom” of career bureaucrats. The “for cause” requirement effectively neuters the ability of a president to change policy in a meaningful way. Eg: Trump vs the “Resistance”

Constitution designates no such boss. It provides for checks and balances of three branches: executive, legislative and judiciary. This guy acts like the King of a country more than a democratically elected official. The last thing we need to do is let him abuse more power.
-
Those words like "executive" mean something, they aren't just symmetric branches doing the same thing. "Executive" means boss, with the power to hire and fire government employees.
-
It's an executive branch, not person. There's no CEO.

You are either extremely ignorant or a malicious liar. Either way, you are blocked you sick fuck. "The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America." https://constitutioncenter.org/interactive-constitution/articles/article-ii …

Unqualified? Lacks basic understanding? Check your grip, sir. Nick is not fanatical - being able to fire bad employees is a very basic capability that any executive should possess. Trump needs to be able to trust his staff to at least not undermine his administration. Basic.

I live in Italy where most everyone in the top tiers is either elected or appointed by representatives. I can tell you it's where truth goes to die and ppl worth nothing become princes of the state

Isn't that the definition of an authoritarian regime?
