General Discussion

I'm more asking a question than saying the following is indeed allowed.

Couldn't Trump just have any department head (such as Defense, Treasury, etc.) fire some high personnel in a small agency and replace them with DOGE employees as governement employees. Then the agency could be renamed (name changes happen all the time). Also, I don't think Presidential staff appointments are all subject to Congressional approval. If not, another way to get them actually on the payroll. If these are possible, I would hope they would be subject to security clearance proceedures (but I doubt the current crowd do serious clearance checks). Do they even need to be organized into an agency to do the same damage?
