Pretty sure he can't gut the USAID office either, but he did.  

While I wish that was the case but the USAID department was established by a executive order by JFK and therefore do not have the same legal protection of a department that was created by a law.

On the other hand the Department of education was established by the department of Education Organization Act (Public Law 96-88) which mean Trump can't legally eliminate it since it was created by a law not a executive action like USAID.

So since the congress did dictate the creation of some department to oversee foreign aid does this mean that Trump can get rid of USAID but he by law has to establish a replacement?

edit: not that the law is going to stop him from doing whatever he feels like by I'm curious.
