(MENAFN) President Donald trump has set a new record for the number of executive orders issued in the first nine days of his presidency, surpassing any of his predecessors. By January 29, Trump had signed 38 executive orders, far outpacing previous presidents at this stage, with only Joe Biden and Harry Truman having issued 40 during their first 100 days.
Trump’s swift action has focused on reshaping federal policies across a broad spectrum, from immigration and trade to energy production and federal agency restructuring. His approach has been described as a "shock-and-awe campaign" that pushes the limits of presidential power, though this may lead to legal challenges.
One of the controversial orders aimed at restricting birthright citizenship was temporarily suspended by a federal judge, citing its unconstitutionality. Additionally, Trump’s decision to halt federal payments to ensure compliance with his directives has sparked backlash from Democrats and human-rights groups. Legal experts have raised concerns about the president's authority to bypass Congress in these matters, with Senator Bernie Sanders stating that Trump does not have the right to violate the Constitution.
