Just restating the simple point: President lacks the constitutional authority to close a department created by Congress. Full stop. Both the creation and on-going funding of these Depts are LAWS not suggestions. This is criminal conduct.

If you want to know why the populations of the country's most desirable areas are perversely falling rather than rising, "families with kids are getting priced and evicted out" is the reason.
