Federal legislation that imposed partially unfunded mandates on public
schools is a separate issue from the mere fact of the Department of
Education. A great many of the mandates originated in education bills
before there was a Department of Education and a few from before there
was a Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, part of the Johnson
administration's Great Society program.

It's the education bills, not the fact that there's a government
bureaucracy whether it's DOE, HEW, or something else, that are
problematic. Some of the provisions should be reformed; many should be
sunsetted. Also, some of the mandates (school breakfast and lunch programs)
are in the farm bill and administered by USDA.

None of it is a power granted to the federal government by Article I,
Section 8, and is therefore all a matter of state/local jurisdiction,
per Amendment X.

The Dept. of Education should be abolished because it's unconstitutional.
Period.

What about the General Welfare clause? The Constitution doesn't get
broader than that.

In any event, you aren't addressing my criticism that sunsetting DOE is
meaningless if Trump won't seek to sunset various authorization bills
whose provisions are federal overreach or contraindicated.

My main criticism is that Trump doesn't want to affect domestic policy
through legislation as he likes that Congress has allowed usurption of
its inherent powers under the Constitution.

Despite the Roberts' Court rarely reigning Trump in, Trump cannot simply
handwaive away domestic policy he doesn't like. He needs to ask Congress
to sunset applicable legislation.

Trump has no such power.

I agree with you about federalism. I don't agree with you about the
blatant violation of separation of powers.
