So if Trump can do away with USAid with the Stroke of a pen, why not Social Security next?

USAID is a creation of statute and Congress. USAID was created under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, and later by act of Congress (The Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act of 1998, 22 U.S.C. 6501 et seq.) established USAID as its own agency. In a section titled “Status of AID” (22 U.S.C. 6563) it states:

Can the President Dissolve USAID by Executive Order?

Congress established USAID in statute, and the president may not unilaterally override a statute by executive order.

www.justsecurity.org

Social Security and Medicaid are also creatures of Statute.

So, if Trump can destroy and gut USAID why not any other federal agency? Why not dissolve and gut Social Security, Medicaid or Medicare? He has the power according to MAGAs.

For all the MAGA who answer, "Well Trump said he won't," remember Trump also said he knew nothing of Project 2025 which he is following to a tee.

Be careful what you wish for.

Based on certain comments below I am only asking a question why couldn't Trump gut and dissolve Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare by EO just like he did with USAID, another independent federal agency..not that he would gut them...not yet anyway

That is why I wrote, why not? Based on what MAGAs have said Trump has the power to destroy and gut any federal agency if he wants. So the question is why not social security?

Flame Thread. Through and through. It serves no purpose other than to start a flame war.

So far, it has succeeded.

Just what we need

It's just not working right now. It's closed.

one is the executive office under the control of the chief executive officer/president,,

the other is a law created by congress,,

I don’t think he can get rid of it but he sure as hell can get it down to one employee that can’t send out any payments.

Both the Social Security Administration and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) are independent agencies of the US government. If Trump can dissolve and gut one, he can gut and dissolve the other.
