The incoming president is expected to sign at least 25 executive orders immediately after taking office.
US President-elect Donald Trump aims to sign over 25 executive orders on his first day, which will "dramatically" alter several government policies, according to Reuters.
Trump has expressed to his aides a desire to make a “big splash” and to operate with greater scale and speed than during his initial term, as revealed by two anonymous sources. Additional orders are anticipated in the following days and weeks, the sources indicated.
“The American people can bank on President Trump using his executive power on day one to deliver on the promises he made to them on the campaign trail,” stated Trump spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt in a conversation with Reuters on Wednesday.
Executive orders are presidential directives that instruct the US government on specific actions to take within constitutional limits. During 2021, outgoing President Joe Biden commenced his term by signing 17 such orders, primarily aimed at reversing policies enacted by Trump during his first term.
As reported by Reuters, some of the initial orders will concentrate on immigration enforcement, including the resumption of wall construction along the US-Mexico border. Although this may face opposition from states led by Democrats, the Biden administration established in court that immigration falls solely under federal jurisdiction.
One of the proposed executive orders seeks to eliminate birthright citizenship, a policy that has granted citizenship to anyone born in the US based on an interpretation of the 14th Amendment. Trump aides informed Reuters that the incoming administration will be prepared to support this decision in court.
Other potential executive orders could reverse the Biden administration’s promotion of “equity,” targeting rules related to transgender rights, racial preferences, and mandatory “diversity training” for federal contractors.
A source from the State Department transition team mentioned an executive order aimed at reviewing hiring practices based on identity rather than merit.
Stephen Miller, recently appointed as Trump’s deputy chief of staff for policy, is reportedly overseeing the executive order initiative. The measures are believed to be derived from drafts provided by think tanks including the America First Policy Institute, the Conservative Partnership Institute, and the Heritage Foundation.
Many of Trump’s executive orders from his first term faced legal challenges from Democrats. While most were ultimately upheld, the legal delays prevented their implementation before Biden's administration began.
