We contend that Presidents, since 1978, may be in non-compliance with their fundamental duty, by the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978, to the federal civil service - to ensure its members are adequately protected from reprisal, discrimination, personal favoritism and other types of "prohibited personnel practices (PPPs)," so they can perform their duties in a trustworthy fashion, per the merit system principles.
To resolve our concerns (which are further detailed at www.broken-covenant.org), we call upon the President to direct the Office of Legal Counsel of the Department of Justice to issue opinions on the interpretations of 5 U.S.C. sections 1204(a)(3), 1214(e) and 2302(c) - three key, intertwined, civil service laws essential to the protection of federal employees from PPPs.
