On the day that President Joe Biden took office, among his first official acts was to fire Peter Robb, the General Counsel of the National Labor Relations Board—a Trump Administration appointee with ten months remaining in his term. That was the beginning of a firing spree. President Biden has removed the Social Security Administration Commissioner and members of the Council of the Administrative Conference of the United States, the National Capital Planning Commission, the U.S. Commission for Fine Arts, the Federal Services Impasse Panel, the Presidio Trust, and other agencies. A new President, of course, needs his own personnel in place to carry out his policy agenda. But some of President Biden’s personnel moves differed in kind from those of his predecessors going back nearly a century: among those dismissed were officials of agencies typically regarded as “independent” because they stand outside of the usual department structure and, in some instances, are insulated from the President’s direct control through statutory restrictions on removal. Removing the SSA Commissioner and NLRB General Counsel, for example, was unprecedented.
