Amid the push for school choice and school vouchers, Trump continues his campaign to shutter the federal Education Department. Here's what it does.

President Donald Trump can’t unilaterally dismantle the department through executive order. But the Wall Street Journal reported this week that White House officials are considering an order that would direct the education officials to end any programs that aren’t enshrined in law, and call on Congress to eliminate the department outright.

When asked why he would put Linda McMahon in charge of the education department only to get rid of it, Trump said, "I want her to put herself out of a job."
