President Donald Trump and his administration are reportedly considering issuing executive actions or orders that would effectively shut down the Department of Education. While he can’t close the agency without Congressional approval, it doesn’t mean his acts can’t have a big impact.
Trump and members of his administration, notably Elon Musk the head of the Department of Government Efficiency that has chipped away at other agencies, have reportedly drafted an executive order that acknowledges only Congress can shut down the DoE but still instructs it to begin diminishing itself, according to the Washington Post.
