“On January 20, 2025, the President signed an Executive Order entitled, ‘Restoring Accountability to Policy-Influencing Positions Within the Federal Workforce (‘Restoring Accountability’).’ This Executive Order reinstates and amends Executive Order 13957 of October 21, 2020. It creates a new Schedule Policy/Career in the excepted service for positions that are of a confidential, policy-determining, policy-making, or policy-advocating character (policy-influencing positions) and filled by individuals not normally subject to replacement or change as a result of a Presidential transition. Such career positions will be rescheduled into Schedule Policy/Career and thereby exempted from the adverse action procedures set forth in chapter 75 of title 5 of the United States Code.” (footnote omitted)
