SES statement to Congress on Dec. 01, 2016, Appendix 2, last paragraph, PDF p.
228 218, “Appointments to SES Positions”:
“By law, the appointment or removal” of SES positions “shall not be subject, directly or indirectly to review or approval by an officer or entity within the Executive Office of the President.” (Is this not sedition?)
Note: This SES statement was endorsed by the following Senators. Did they know what they were endorsing? Somebody needs to give at least Sen. Rand Paul a heads up.

COMMITTEE ON HOMELAND SECURITY AND GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS:

Let's get this straight. A Senate Committee that oversees the Department of Homeland Security—an agency of the Executive Branch, is telling the American People that the hiring and firing function of the SES—also an agency within the Executive Branch, is not subject to the Executive Branch in its hiring and firing of personnel? Are you kidding me? Is this not the very definiton of sedition. This is proof of a shadow government in the Congressional record.
