President Donald Trump has the power to dismiss federal employees and reorganize the federal government in such a way that critics say no president could do more than 100 years.
The government, which has been temporarily granted by the Supreme Court, stems from a case where Trump’s administration says it needs a broad authorities to effectively manage executive power, but the Federal Labor Union says it is facing established laws and decades of traditions.
The final president, who is likely to be the decision, will continue the tendency when the executive increases its power to the legislative and court branches, so short and future presidents may be more powerful than they were in a generation.
For the time being, Trump’s administration can continue the plan that it announced in February to determine the large -scale relief from the Federal Government, delaying a temporary echo of tens of thousands of federal employees for two months.
The statement of the American government staff, labor unions cooperating with external groups and local authorities to bring an action against Trump’s administration that he had considered other actions in the light of the case through court.
A senior White House official said the US said that while critics were invited to disagree with what the administration is doing, the call for dismissal is lawful and the administration intends to act immediately to reduce the size of the government.

Trump began mass exemptions called force reduction when he signed an executive order, February 11th. The order required agencies to start a month -long process to reduce the Government ranks “as much as the law applicable”.
April 28, April 28, joined Trump’s administration to other unions, non -profit organizations and local authorities, saying she needed a Congress to carry out mass dismisses.
In May, a federal judge in California communicated with the Union and blocked the dismissal plan to enter into force more than two dozen federal agencies until the case was heard in trial. Trump’s administration told the Supreme Court that it was too big and the Supreme Court agreed on July 9. Of the decision.
This provided dismissal until the Supreme Court decides to take the main case. Although the judges did not make a decision on the main case, they argued that Trump’s administration was “most likely to succeed” and that the executive order was “lawful”.
A senior White House officer said the agencies are now waiting for instructions on the next step of the dismissal process, but the administration will operate immediately. The official said some agencies had dismissed plans against US district judge Susan Illston San Francisco, and now these plans are unfamiliar.

Agencies that do not now have a judge Illston unit are agriculture, commerce, energy, health and human services, justice, leaborists, treasury, state, veteran affairs, Environmental Protection Agency and Social Security Administration.
A senior White House officer said they expect them to be brought against the dismissal plans for individual agencies, which the Supreme Court ruling has not been resolved, but also hopes to win their claims that are due to their way.
If the agencies continue their previously published dismissal plans, thousands of federal employees across the country could soon lose their jobs. For example, the Department of Health and Human Services announced April 1, which will begin the starting process of 10,000 employees on April 1.
As part of the process, the agencies offered employees for redemption and early pension incentives to leave their work voluntarily. According to Doug Collins, the Department of Veteran Affairs, the largest civilian civilian agencies in the Federal Government, has resigned 17,000 employees since January and expects another 12,000 to leave by the end of September.
As a result, Collins said the agency would not have to do widespread release. Previously, a leaked memorandum said veteran affairs would dismiss 76,000 people.

Peter Shane, an additional professor at the Law School in New York University, said USA Today that over the years, Congress gave the president’s powers to transfer agencies, but retained the veto power due to changes after the 1930s.
The Supreme Court ruled that in the 1980s the veto authority was unconstitutional. In response, the congress returned its reoganization service.
Shane called a short February executive order to “work around”.
“By forcing the Dragonian agencies, you can achieve exactly what you wanted to implement your organizational plans, but without giving Congress,” Shane said. “That is why what the court does or does not have such a dramatic impact on government balance.”
Hans von Sperovsky, a senior legal fellow at the Conservative Heritage Fund, said the union case was “surprising” because the presidential administration had long implemented a possible reduction, including when he worked decades ago in the Government.
“It is not the case that it is something new or unprecedented – and the idea that it will cause a huge problem when the federal government can perform its duties, as well as openly funny,” said von Spakovsky.
