Findings

Congress finds the following: (1) The people of the United States deserve an excellent and efficient Federal workforce that attracts the highest caliber of civil servants committed to achieving the freedom, prosperity, and democratic rule promoted by the Constitution of the United States. (2) As of the date of enactment of this Act, the appointment practices of the Federal Government are broken, insular, and outdated and no longer focus on merit, practical skill, and dedication to the Constitution of the United States. (3) Appointments in the Federal Government should not be focused on impermissible factors, such as a commitment to— (A) illegal racial discrimination under the guise of equity; or (B) the invented concept of gender identity over sex. (4) Inserting factors described in paragraph (3) into the Federal appointment process subverts the will of the people of the United States, puts critical Government functions at risk, and risks losing the best-qualified candidates.
