Civil service law prevents Trump from just sacking entire departments. Career officials are PROTECTED.

We no longer have the spoils system, where a President could sack the entire Executive branch.

Trump needs to establish a separate Diego Garcia Circuit Court and DOJ facility staffed by all the damn hagfish that keep turning up in the bureaucracy.

Paul Ryan could have fixed that during Trump’s first two years.

this is part of the problem.

the career bureaucracy is one of the main pools of people that consider themselves the true rulers of the slave class. Just as there are no term limits on Congress, there are also lifers in the judiciary and lifers in the executive branch as careerists.

The only ones on a leash are the elected executives. Just in case a rogue happens to make it past the rigged elections (like Trump did), the permanent aristocracy just has to ignore them for 4 (or at worst) 8 years.

And THIS is why the presidential two term amendment was a mistake, and term limits in general are a mistake. It gives too much power to the bureaucracy, and makes a president's second term a lame duck session.

agree, BUT:

  1. It makes it easy to see that the other 2 branches have intentionally neutered the executive over time, to create exactly this situation where the elected office is a powerless figurehead, a ceremonial position.

  2. Im not sure if we should have term limits or not, there are good reasons to consider either. BUT one thing that is obvious is that WHATEVER system have in that regard, you cannot create an imbalance between branches like we have had for decades now, because the other branches who arent disadvantaged then just wait out the ones with the anchor on them. IOW the rules have to be uniform or at least close enough to uniform as to not allow for any real imbalance.
