The head of a federal panel that advises the White House on compensation issues resigned on Monday to protest President Trump’s new executive order that could wipe out employment protections for tens of thousands of federal workers. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2020/10/26/us/trump-biden-election/as-trump-weakens-rules-insulating-civil-servants-from-politics-an-official-resigns-in-protest">https://www.nytimes.com/live/2020...
"The Executive Order is nothing more than a smokescreen for what is clearly an attempt to require the political loyalty of those who advise the President...I have concluded that as a matter of conscience, I can no longer serve him or his Administration. "
"I took that same oath, and despite being a life-long Republican (I was even named after Ronald Reagan), I would like to think that I lived up to it, even as I served three Democratic and three Republican Presidents."
