Fourth branch: Independent executive agencies
"The federal executive is a very large bureaucracy, and due to civil service rules, most mid- and low-level employees do not change when a new person becomes President"
This administration is hell bent on changing the rules about civil service. In a sense undermining this fourth branch.
"In the draft letter, which was obtained by Government Executive, Blair called the General Schedule pay framework a "failure" and proposed its complete removal by 2010."
Keep in mind that these GS employees are the folks that run the entire supply sytem for the DOD supplying the war effort in Iraq. As a military logistician the civilians I worked with from the Defense Logistics Agency and the Army Logisitcs agencies were lifesavers. These folks were working in immenent danger areas but do not recieve immenent danger pay nor a tax free salary like the military.
The main reason this civil service issue about is a matter of getting rid of folks who stand in the way of folks who want to do the wrong thing. The gross failure of the GS system is that it will not bend to abuses of the system that an administration might want.
The main reason a Civil Service System was put in was to stop the graft and corruption of political appointees who were put into agencies.

your Constitution is the basis for the powers granted to each branch.
Article III is your Bill of Rights.
"A state of martial law does not suspend the operation of the Constitution, nor supplant the functioning of the civil courts or legislative assemblies, nor authorize the conferment of jurisdiction on military courts and agencies over civilians where civil courts are able to function, nor automatically suspend the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus."
