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

A draft of Trump's order to dismantle the education department, obtained by the Washington Post, acknowledges that only Congress can get rid of the agency outright, but executive action could direct the agency to begin to wind itself down.

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.
