House lawmakers passed legislation today that attempts to shore up protections for federal civil service employees. The bill would get rid of a category of Schedule F employees that was created by Trump via executive order in October 2020.
The bipartisan legislation, called "Preventing a Patronage System Act," was first introduced in January of 2021. It was co-sponsored by 16 lawmakers, including three Republicans.
President Biden rescinded the Schedule F category quickly after taking office, but Axios previously reported that Trump, if elected to a second term, would immediately reimpose it.
