The White House says the rule will make it easier to fire underperforming or subversive employees.

The Office of Personnel Management estimates about 50,000 positions will be changed to the new status.

Border Patrol agents and wage and hour inspectors will generally be excluded from the proposed rule.

The move is the latest to downsize and overhaul the federal government.
