An executive order that calls for a legislative proposal to get rid of the department.

Butcher told Fox News Digital: “Congress should take into account the call policy and advance in politics to eliminate most of the agency programs and expenses while transferring remaining programs to other federal agencies.”
“President Trump may declare that the powers of the Department of Education are unconstitutional and request a note from the Department of Justice to support this position. The President could undoubtedly do the same for specific programs, the law of higher education, for example. “
“Another approach would be to move the agency somewhere away from Washington, DC and require employees to work in person, 5 days a week,” added Butcher. “The White House can still eliminate non -essential or non -exempt positions, in the meantime, this process would even need support in Congress to cancel union contracts.”
Butcher told Fox News Digital that, even with these potential Trump actions, the executive branch “still has to spend appropriate as needed.”
“Therefore, it is still the best case that Congress considers a proposal to close the agency,” said Butcher.
“In the proposal, Congress should consider being created for large spending programs such as the title and for the states to have more autonomy on what is best for schools at their borders,” said Butcher. “And Heritage has proposed to transfer certain positions that we believe should remain to other agencies, such as the Civil Rights Office in the Department of Justice.”

However, Epstein explained that the removal of the department could lead to Trump’s head.
“But Trump may want to think twice before deleting the department, as he has important clubs to promote his agenda,” Epstein said. “The Department is the main agency of application to protect women’s sport, prevent discrimination through DEI quotas for favored groups, stop protecting anti -Semitism, and addressing rather extended ideological factories, partisan, anti -anti -Crods that have become.

“President Trump does not have the capacity to eliminate a federal department. Deleting it would require congressional shares, including a 60 -voted superm -to -votes in the Senate,” said Andrew Stoltmann, lawyer and law professor.
“So, even if Trump can continue with what he says, he must throw in some Democrats of the Senate and this will be impossible.”
Stoltmann explained that “Trump’s best bet is to designate someone who will actually be a figure in the Department of Education”.
