can't he just nominate a secretary of education with the understanding that that person once confirmed will start firing everyone
does the sec of ed have the authority to start firing people ?

The law and budget passed by Congress say the Department of Education exists. If the administration seeks to close the department, let the President introduce a budget or let a friendly lawmaker introduce a bill to that effect for Congress to consider.

Another one bites the dust.
Trump sign an executive order to eliminate the Department of Education

¡AFUERA!
