Getting rid of cabinet positions |

Can the next president abolish the Department of Homeland Security since the last president made it or does it need to go through Congress?

1. Needs to go through congress... |

DHS was created by a congressional act (over the objections of Bush, I might add).
I believe all federal departments are created/dismantled by law, not by executive order.

I thought Washington created them (the first few) on executive order.
I guess that changed somewhere down the line.
