On January 20, 2025, his first day back in office, Trump signed 'Restoring Accountability to Policy-Influencing Positions Within the Federal Workforce,' immediately reinstating Executive Order 13957 of 2020 (Schedule F), renamed Schedule Policy/Career, which strips policy-influencing career employees of removal protections. He has since actively used the authority: OPM finalized the implementing regulation, and a follow-on executive order signed June 3, 2026 began placing senior policy-influencing positions into the new schedule. The specific deliverable, re-issuing the 2020 order, was completed immediately as promised.
