    Well, it was created through an act of Congress. It is the law. An executive order cannot shut it down.

      If the executive order attempts or purports to shut it down, and no one does anything to stop that, then yes the order can.

        I don’t disagree, but it is important to acknowledge that it is illegal. Some people think the president can just do this, but he cannot without violating the law and the constitution.

          You are technically correct of course. We all know he doesn’t care about the constitution or breaking laws. I’m curious to see how right wingers will spin this as a win.

            They just have to say it’s something Obama did that Trump is undoing. I actually think the less the right wing media even acknowledges it happening, the more successful it will be.
