But the president doesn't want people who are going to be slow to respond. He wants them to be doing exactly what he wants. So if you convert them to political appointees, political appointees can be fired at any time for any reason by the president who appointed them.

This is another Russell Vogt idea, who's the head of Office of Management and Budget and was in the first Trump administration on either end of his time at Project 2025. So they issued an executive order along these lines at the tail end of the first Trump administration. And then as soon as Joe Biden took office, he withdrew the order. And so it was kind of dead there.

You know, it falls down to this idea of a unitary executive. They see things like civil servants who can't be fired by the president and they think it is abhorrent to the Constitution, because if the president is in charge of the executive branch, he should be able to do what he wants with the executive branch.

And so when you see a civil servant who can't do that, they think that that that violates the Constitution. And it just makes it very hard for a president to do what he wants. We obviously saw Trump really struggling during his first term in office. to do a lot of the things he promised to do and to do a lot of things he was trying to do.
