    Virtually all of this is subject to legislative authority because the agencies were created by law that would have to be changed. It isn't going to happen. Of course President Trump, being completely ignorant of the US government, doesn't have a clue when it comes to what he's been doing since taking office.

    Departments within agencies, that the president can control to some degree, serve a dedicated purpose generally required by law and to eliminate them in most cases simply reduces the effectiveness of the agency and would create a failure by the president to faithfully fulfill the duties of office and that would violate Article II of the Constitution.

    This looks like another unconstitutional attempt by President Trump to usurp the powers of office and I foresee lots of lawsuits and federal restraining orders in the future. He was elected president but has assume the role of dictator.

    Yes, but it will be q White Anglo Saxon Protestant Male dictatorship just like the KKK voted for.

    With all other departments gone Trump will create just one new department to replace them and will appoint David Duke to be the Secretary of new Department of Slavery.

    I'm new here. For fun I went and read the election night thread and some of the prediction threads from last year. I saw your name often and you made a lot of predictions.
    It's amazing that you scored a perfect zero. You were wrong on every prediction you posted.

    So when you predict that Trump might not last long it makes me want to bet on Trump lasting eight years. I figure you're like a prediction savant in reverse.

    Congress dictates funding to the EPA and Dept of Education and not the President. I can just see Republican states like Kansas responding to a cut in federal funding to education when Kansas can't even meet it's current education or other expenditures because it imposed "Republicanomics" and that didn't help the economy and resulted in tax revenue shortfalls.

    I find your using the Marine Corp emblem for your partisan ranting and extreme slurs against the USA's Commander-In-Chief offensive.

    The Las Vegas odds makers are still betting Trump won't last until 2020 so perhaps you should put your savings on the line. They'll give you long odds on Trump lasting eight years.

    This office deals with the illegal international trade in arms that as often as not end up in the hands of terrorists. It doesn't have anything to do with anything inside of the United States. The "hint" is that it's a part of the State Department that only deals with international affairs.

    So are you and advocate of arming international terrorists?

    Yet more excellent news from this White House.

    The Washington establishment will hate this for sure.

    Agreed. It's about time they did that.

    There is a lot of dead weight in Washington. The federal government has gotten way too weighty.

    Yup. In the immortal words: You're FIRED.

    Yeah. But when was the last time a presidential candidate said what they were going to do, and then actually did it? That's definitely a little bit different.

    For reference, here's Trump's contract:

    That's a no brainer. See? Not very difficult to get rid of unnecessary programs.

    Are you going to come up with some or just whine about mine?

    How about the Institute of Education Sciences? https://www.usa.gov/federal-agencies/institute-of-education-sciences

    Let the 50 States do it.

    No, as Dubya and Barack demonstrated so well, we really need that Unitary Executive. If anything, we should eliminate the legislative and judiciary branches.

    Surely better than just dumping parts of departments then finding out you really need a core group within that department.
    Need to understand something to streamline it.

    But I suppose it's the ol' "damned if you do, damned if you don't" problem.

    Sure, but what he is doing was the cornerstone of Al Gore's initiative to reduce federal legislation and make the government streamlined, and America rejected him. Can't wait for Donald to start talking lockboxes.

    It means some on our side are also incapable of thinking for themselves and listening to Trump's message without hearing just the negative highlights. If Trump proved anything, it's that there is still a guy out there capable of pulling in voters from both sides that put partisanship aside. You should take take notes.

    Yes, please continue to tell us of your prophecies. It's worked so well in the past.

    Funny I remember my hippie liberal cousins saying the same things about your avatar and WORSE! I guess you've forgotten the spit showers those groups greeted Vietnam vets with back I the day!

    It is BS that will go nowhere.

    But you will see all the little Trumpster crowing about Trump "getting stuff done", but this is nothing more than a directive to write a report.

    A report that will be dead on arrival when it reaches Congress.

    Note the deadline is three months before the mid term elections. No action will be taken before the mid terms, and the report will be forgotten thereafter.

    Trumpster will be the first to forget it. After all, Trump dangles a new shiny object in front of them ever week.
