i was a federal civilian manager. the mandate has to get through the unions, be announced in the federal register etc.

the unions should be blocking any new condition of employment not vetted in the legal manner. 5 usc covers civil service, 10 usc includes the ucmj covers military.

i was also officer in usaf. the president can order go to war ,but regulate the military is congress' power!

same but a bit different than civilians.
