“I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of this commonsense amendment offered by my friend, Representative Hice. President Trump took needed steps to ensure civil servants serve the American people, not their own interests. One of President Biden's first actions was to undo these needed reforms. Representative Connolly introduced this bill, even before President Biden was sworn in, to overturn President Trump's action and to prevent any future President from reinstating them. Obviously, the Biden administration has a radically different view of the Federal workforce than President Trump did, one that House Republicans strongly disagree with. This amendment would simply ensure that a future President could reinstate a policy similar to schedule F to allow for more accountability within the career civil service. We should not tie the hands of a future duly-elected President to implement the clear mandates of the American people.”
