b'One of Donald Trump\\u2019s 2024 campaign promises is to upend the modern civil service through an executive order called \\u201cSchedule F\\u201d. Democrats and Republicans have been fighting over this administrative state since its conception, but why is this area of government so divisive and what power does it really hold?\\n\\nThe history of the civil services\\u2019 origins is one that holds many lessons about the rise of presidential power, the fall of the party system, and the polarization of politics. And there is no better expert on these topics than University of Virginia political scientist, Sidney Milkis. His 1993 book \\u201cThe President and the Parties\\u201d is one of those books that seems to always be relevant but, with increased conservative focus on the administrative state, it is especially worth revisiting today.'
