Donald Trump is reintroducing Schedule F, which will make it easier to fire federal workers. It's deeply troubling that the administration is attempting to replace dedicated civil servants with loyalists. The federal workforce should not be politicized.

Raskin: The president derives his powers only either from the Constitution explicitly or from an act of Congress and Congress certainly has never given the president the power to relocate prisoners to foreign countries and there's nothing in the constitution that remotely vests that power…
