[quote=Anonymous]Reality check about whether it's even possible to close down the DoE. Just because Trump says he's going to wave his dictator wand and shut down the DoE, does not mean that's how things will work. This is just one more "promise" Trump has pulled out of his ass which will not come true. "Closing the agency would require congressional action, people in both parties agree, and likely require a supermajority of 60 votes in the Senate as long as filibuster rules remain in place. Politically, this would be difficult if not impossible, with opposition from Democrats and likely some Republicans. A 2023 vote in the House to abolish the department, considered as an amendment to a parents’ rights bill, failed. It garnered 161 yes votes, but 60 Republicans joined every Democrat in voting no." https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2024/10/24/trump-republicans-education-department-shut-down/ [/quote]
