President Donald Trump is poised to sign an executive order aimed at abolishing the U.S. Department of Education, directing Education Secretary Linda McMahon to facilitate its closure. This proposed action, expected to take place as soon as Thursday, aims to return educational control to individual states. While the executive order would initiate the process, the actual closure of the Department would require Congressional approval due to legal constraints.
Poster Comment:
US AID was created by an Executive Order and was ended by one. But there was actual legislation to create this Dept. Might take a while.
