Through an executive order, President Trump intends to reclassify hundreds of thousands of federal civil servants' job titles as "schedule policy/career" positions. Don Moynihan from the Ford School told Reuters,"By deeming anyone involved in 'policy' as part of this new category, the pool of people that could potentially be fired expands enormously, because nearly everyone in government touches policy in one way or another."
