employee 'fireable' by POTUS

During a rally on Saturday, former President Donald Trump floated an expansion of presidential powers.

Speaking to rally-goers in Florence, South Carolina, he suggested that, if he were re-elected, the president would have the power to fire anyone who works in the government's executive branch.

"We will pass critical reforms making every executive branch employee fireable by the president of the United States. The deep state must and will be brought to heel," he said. Fringe media and the far-right have often used the term "deep state" to refer to the so-called "real power" in America's government.

The president is not allowed to fire just anyone in the executive branch. While this power had initially been available to the president, it led to the "spoils system," in which every new president could essentially replace the entire government with their supporters.
