Executive-Branch BanBut many cite the ethics order Trump signed in January, which includes a five-year ban on lobbying after leaving government service and a lifetime ban on lobbying for a foreign government.
A dozen people inside and outside of the administration said in interviews that they?d either decided against joining the administration because of the lobbying ban or knew people who had.
Trump has the authority to fill more than 4,000 jobs in the federal bureaucracy with his appointees.
?Taking My Livelihood??That five-year ban is just not something they?re going to put up with,? said Paul Miller, president of the National Institute for Lobbying & Ethics, a trade group.
The ban applies only to executive-branch agencies; Trump has said he?d like to extend it to Congress, but that would take legislation.
