How the Executive Orders of Donald Trump Compare to Other U.S. Presidents

In comparison, the last few US presidents have issued fewer executive orders. We have studied the history of executive orders before the Donald Trump era.

Trump is expected to start issuing multips on his first day at work, putting into action a hundred-order plan he made known to Senate Republicans on January 8th. He will take an oath as the forty-seventh president of the United States on Monday. His orders will address immigration, border control, energy production, pardons, etc. 

The following are a few of the most significant presidential orders:

• The Emancipation Proclamation (1863): The order by Lincoln outlawed slavery and set free slaves living in the Confederate states.

• Executive Order 9066 (1942): FDR’s order permitted the relocation of 120,000 Japanese Americans, who were considered a threat to US security during World War 2.

• Executive Order 9981 (1948): Truman abolished segregation based on ethnicity, religion, and skin color in the US armed forces.

• Executive Order 10924 (1961): The order established the Peace Corps and was issued by John F. Kennedy.

• Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (2012): It was introduced by Barack Obama. DACA was quietly embedded in a policy for some children who entered the US without legal status with a frequent view to giving deferred action from deportation for two years.

• Executive Order 13769 (2017): Trump’s travel ban was known as Executive Order 13769, an executive order restricting entry into the US by certain foreign nationals. It was called a “Muslim ban” by many and quickly gained that title for what it did to constitute severe curtailments against countries with predominantly Muslim populations.

Executive Orders Donald Trump Plans to Use His First Days in Office

Donald Trump is widely expected to endorse executive orders during his first days in office.  His intention includes over one hundred executive orders, a few of which have plans for mass deportation of immigrants, undoing most of Biden’s energy policies, and similarly trying to pardon those Americans who were arrested for attending the Capitol riots, along with many others.

The First Thing On The List Seems To Be The Mass Deportation Of Migrants

According to many, Donald Trump is planning to reinstate the travel ban that was placed on Muslim countries along with some of the US-Mexico border procedures. Additionally, it has been claimed by top Trump surrogates that all operations for detaining and deporting illegal immigrants will begin from day one of the presidency.

Domestic Energy Production

Second, there are allegations that Donald Trump plans to implement damage control measures to address Biden’s energy policies. More specifically, he plans to remove the ban on gas and oil offshore drilling, eliminate the electric car mandate, and cease the restrictions on natural gas exports.
