I’ve been pushing to repeal that law instead of simply continuing it for well over 20 years! It’s what created the ‘Senior Executive Service’, better known as the swamp or deep state. People in these positions can’t be fired. Remember the Ambassador to Ukraine that President Trump fired? She simply went back to a desk job at Foggy Bottom until she decided to retire.
It took over 4 decades to get to that point, but look at all of the damage they’ve done to us in that time. They push funding requests that turn into earmarks and continuing resolutions. But no program ever ends, they just keep funding them. The government spending from 1975 to today shows just how broken the system really is!
It should have never been passed, but Congress had been solidly held by demokkkrats for 30 years by that point. Republicans didn’t get invited to the party, much less to the table.
Jimmy Carter’s Civil Service Act of 1978 made government employees exempt from being fired or held accountable for their actions.
you are correct

Ridiculous! Should be reversed asap.
Yes, but that will require a battle plan to deal with the unions and the entrenched interests, or there will be another summer of love.
