Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility v. President Trump
Case Overview
Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility sued President Trump and the Office of Personnel Management, alleging that the renewed Schedule F executive order reinstates a spoils system in the civil service, one "untethered from merit." Plaintiffs argue that the Schedule F order discards civil servant protections requested by previous executives, enacted by Congress, and accepted by all three branches of government.

The Application
Plaintiffs argue Schedule F circumvents these protections by converting merit-based positions to at-will roles, bypassing statutory removal procedures and dismantling civil service safeguards that Congress enacted, multiple administrations maintained, and all three branches of government have long accepted.
The Conclusion
The litigation is pending before Judge Paula Xinis in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Maryland; the court will determine whether the President possesses constitutional authority to reclassify civil service positions or whether Schedule F violates statutory protections and constitutional due process.
