Biden Breaks Historic Political Norms, Fires Independent Board Appointees
15 Feb 2021
The Biden administration has broken with historical norms by firing Trump-appointed members of independent agencies serving fixed terms, a move that one appointee claims is illegal in a lawsuit. At least one Democrat supporting the effort says this must be done because some of the appointees are too white.
It is unprecedented for a new administration to fire members of independent agencies serving fixed terms. But the Biden administration is trying to do so anyway. One appointee, Roger Severino, is suing the Biden administration over its decision to terminate him.
Biden removes Trump appointees from boards that shape the District Peggy McGlone The Biden administration has removed key Trump appointees from several federal agencies that oversee the look and feel of D.C. neighborhoods and buildings and city officials are pushing for more. Deputy Mayor John Falcicchio sent an unusual letter to Biden’s personnel director last week, asking for a review of Trump’s last-minute appointments to the National Capital Planning Commission and the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts. Because these two boards are responsible for approving development in the city, the new members could impede Washington’s progress toward racial and economic equity, climate change and affordable housing, Falcicchio wrote in a letter obtained by The Washington Post.
