Field McConnell of Abel Danger suggests the D.C. Swamp will never be drained as long as the Senior Executive Service exists; there are simply too many "players" in the game, all thanks to Obama, who expanded the existing program of Deep State managers and appointed over 7,000 of the 8,156 bosses.

A new POTUS only gets to name over 4,000 political appointees when they are elected, so this leaves a rather large number of "swamp critters" still in operation. Some call these left-overs Obama's Army.
There are four basic types of appointments:
- Presidential Appointments with Senate Confirmation: There are 1,212 senior leaders, including the Cabinet secretaries and their deputies, the heads of most independent agencies and ambassadors, who must be confirmed by the Senate.
- Presidential Appointments without Senate Confirmation: There are 353 positions which make up much of the White House staff, although they are also scattered throughout many of the smaller federal agencies.
- Non-career Senior Executive Service: Members of the Senior Executive Service (SES) work in key positions just below the top presidential appointees, bridging the gap between the political leaders and the civil service throughout the federal government.
- Schedule C Appointments: There are 1,403 Schedule C appointees who serve in a confidential or policy role. They range from schedulers and confidential assistants to policy experts.
