“This bill terminates the Department of Education on December 31, 2018.”
Watch C-SPAN if you get it sometime. Watch the House in action. It’s chaos. Always was really. Most bills die there or die later. Few make it all the way through but a lot of strange things end up happening that started there.
Then, watch the Senate and how they behave and go about things.
You’ll see a radical difference.
