Strongly disagree

Yes, and eliminate federal agencies that are unconstitutional

The concept of 'unconstitutional federal agencies' is not applicable to the Portuguese political context, as Portugal has a different political system than the United States. The PSD is more focused on fiscal responsibility and reducing public spending in general, rather than targeting specific agencies.
