Match: Strong AlignmentExecutive Order 14242 directs the Secretary to facilitate closure only to the maximum extent appropriate and permitted by law while continuing legally required services. It does not itself abolish the statutory Department.
Why this match
Project 2025 calls for eliminating the Department. EO 14242 directs closure steps only to the extent permitted by law while preserving statutory services; it cannot itself abolish a department created by Congress.
A President can revoke or amend EO 14242. Congress controls the Department’s statutory existence, programs, and appropriations. Agencies implement within law, and courts can review executive or agency action.
