Why Trump's Drastic Plan to Slash the Government Could Succeed

WASHINGTON-For decades, conservatives have tried-and largely failed-to fundamentally reshape the federal government. If Donald Trump retakes the White House, they might succeed.

If implemented, those measures and others Trump has proposed would amount to the most sweeping overhaul of the government in modern times, legal scholars said.
