Those seeking a job in the federal government will now have to write an essay in support of President Donald Trump's executive orders, according to a memo from the Office of Personnel Management.

Vince Haley, the White House's head of domestic policy, wrote in the May 29 memorandum that all civil service applicants must answer a series of essays as part of the job recruitment process, including one about how they would "help advance" Trump's policy priorities.

I'm not quite sure how, even after reading the text, but this must somehow violate the Hatch Act, right? Or something else? The first amendment? Something? Please? Surely the president can't coerce political speech as a condition of employment?

Nope.

It's not just for new employees, anyone taking a promotion will need to do this as part of the I terview process tok
