President Trump issued an executive order creating Schedule G within the excepted service. This addresses what was perceived to be a gap in existing processes to fill policy-making and policy-advocating positions.
The order mandates that individuals appointed to these positions under Schedule G should be aligned with the administration's policies, but political affiliation is not to be a deciding factor.
It formally amends existing Civil Service Rules to include Schedule G, detailing its application and implications for several other existing schedules, and emphasizes improvements to the Department of Veterans Affairs’ operations as justification.
Finally, it outlines implementation procedures and limitations, affirming that the order does not have a legally enforceable impact on existing rights.
