It further directs agency heads to reassign SES members to align with the President's agenda, terminate and reconstitute Executive Resources Boards with noncareer officials serving as a majority, re-constitute Performance Review Board membership, and take actions up to and including removal of SES officials whose performance is inconsistent with the memorandum's principles or their duties under 5 U.S.C. 3131.
