On Tuesday, The Epoch Times<\/a> posted an article about a lawsuit filed by the National Treasury Employees Union filed to prevent President Trump from being able to fire federal employees.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump\u2019s order removing job protections from federal officials violates federal law, according to a Jan. 20 lawsuit.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s order, signed<\/a> earlier on Monday, reclassifies certain employees into the same category as political appointees, thereby removing some job protections.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe President\u2019s Executive Order is unlawful and ultra vires because it exceeds statutory authority and is contrary to congressional intent,\u201d the lawsuit<\/a>, filed by the National Treasury Employees Union in federal court in Washington, states.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is no way that government waste can be cut without having the right to fire people!<\/p>\n

The article notes:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe President\u2019s Executive Order is unlawful and ultra vires because it exceeds statutory authority and is contrary to congressional intent,\u201d the lawsuit<\/a>, filed by the National Treasury Employees Union in federal court in Washington, states.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the order<\/a>, Trump said that \u201caccountability is sorely lacking today\u201d because removing federal employees has been too difficult. He said it is important to ensure that officials in \u201cpolicy-influencing positions\u201d are accountable to the president.<\/strong><\/div>\n

He noted that in recent years, there have been some federal officials who have resisted executive leadership.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The order states in part: \u201cEmployees in or applicants for Schedule Policy\/Career positions are not required to personally or politically support the current President or the policies of the current administration. They are required to faithfully implement administration policies to the best of their ability, consistent with their constitutional oath and the vesting of executive authority solely in the President. Failure to do so is grounds for dismissal.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you work in a private company and are working against the agenda of management, you will be fired. There is no reason the government should have a different standard of behavior.<\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

The suit is one of several launched within hours of Trump taking office.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Multiple suits targeted<\/a> the Department of Government Efficiency, which is tasked with examining ways to make the government more efficient. Another lawsuit challenged<\/a> Trump\u2019s order ending birthright citizenship for some future babies born on U.S. soil.<\/strong><\/div>\n
