Or, maybe he has.
It's not a complete return to the Spoils System. Not even close.
But it does allow a President some control over a segment of his employees who may be trying to fight his policies or initiatives.

2.1MM employees subject to firing/hiring with each new president is far worse than the old spoils system.

I too am opposed to public sector unions, which are more properly thought of as lobbying organizations.
But I don’t want each new administration replacing 2.1MM jobs.

You think each new Administration is going to hire over two million folks?
Nah, me either.
