The White House has finally asked thousands of President Donald Trump’s political appointees to resign on the President Elect Inauguration Day.
The order was issued by Chris Liddell, the deputy White House chief of staff who has been leading transition arrangements with the Biden team
She stated that the letter of resignation should be submitted no later than noon on Jan. 20.
“As we prepare for a transition of power, we must take appropriate measures to ensure this is done in an orderly manner,” wrote Liddell, who has been coordinating transition efforts for the White House.
The memo, which was sent to Cabinet and executive agency heads who were asked to share it with presidential appointees in their organizations, included draft resignation templates for staffers to fill out and send.
This marks a step forward as the Trump administration prepares to exit the White House later this month.
The call for appointees resignations followed Trump’s statement early Thursday that there would be an orderly transfer of power come January 20.
President Trump administration had stalled this formality for weeks as the outgoing leader disputed the election outcome.
