How Trump could put allies in key government posts without Senate approval

The article from MSN discusses how former President Donald Trump, if re-elected, could potentially bypass the Senate confirmation process to install allies in key government positions through a mechanism known as "Schedule F." This executive order, which Trump introduced towards the end of his presidency, reclassifies certain policy-related federal employees as at-will workers, stripping them of civil service protections. This would allow a president to hire and fire these employees without Senate approval, effectively enabling the placement of loyalists in significant roles within the federal bureaucracy. Critics argue this move could politicize the civil service, undermining its nonpartisan nature and potentially leading to a government filled with appointees more focused on loyalty to the president than on expertise or public interest. The article highlights concerns about the implications for governance, suggesting that such changes could lead to a more authoritarian approach to administration.
