@ksclarke I mean yes.
It was always a bad idea to take things that we want to last indefinitely and hand them to the executive branch of the United States. Doing that always relied on the whims of whatever presidents would be elected in the future.
That's how the United States is designed, and so many of us spent years warning about this.
So yep, the administration can dismantle The institute of anything it wants that have been put under its charge. That was an amazingly good reason not to put things under its charge, but we elected representatives who did it anyway.
So now can we please stop re-electing those representatives?
