At home, Kerry's pressure on Congress to repeal the No Child Left Behind Act succeeded in May 2010.
Second presidential term[]
Kerry's second term focused more on domestic issues, notably pressure on states to stop taxation at the state and local levels, and the establishment of a national sales tax, levied in and redistributed to participating states.
