Eliminating the various departments that have been established by Congress under the control of the Executive Branch over the many years would eliminate the need for a vast majority of the bureaucracies in support of those departments, BUT I won’t hold my breath.

You'd better not. Most of those powers are mandated by treaty.

“......Most of those powers are mandated by treaty.”

The Department of Education, the Department of Energy, the EPA, etc. were all caused by some need established by a treaty with some foreign entities!?
