Trump Signs 12 Executive Orders In His First Week In Washington

January 29 09:28 2017

Trump’s very first day in office has been eventful already.

The real fact is that Donald Trump is a president unlike any other in the nation’s history, and because of his volatile nature, know one really knows what to expect.

According to data from the Pew Research Center, Obama averaged fewer executive orders per year in office than any American president in 120 years.

On Friday, Trump signed another executive order that he said will put potential immigrants through “extreme vetting.”

We are nearing the second week of President Donald Trump’s administration and I find myself becoming more cynical about the future of our political system with each passing day. While the agreement was signed on 4 February 2016, it was never ratified.

Some of these measures are called executive orders.

President Donald Trump got to work quickly after his inauguration a week ago.

President Ronald Reagan banned the use of federal funds for advocating abortion in 1984. This is a policy that bars federal money from going to global groups that “provide information” on abortions, according to the BBC. Trump’s proposal announced Thursday to add a 20 percent border tax on imports from Mexico (and quickly walked back by his aides) would do the same.

Trump said that there was nothing in the letter that surprised him, but it was “stated beautifully”.

When President Obama killed the Keystone XL Pipeline in 2015, he claimed it would “undercut” the U.S.as a leader in the fight against climate change. But he has cracked down on immigration and has taken the first steps to build a wall on the Mexican border, whose cost-if it happens-will undoubtedly be passed to the American taxpayer.

Today, President Trump is flying to Philadelphia, where congressional Republicans are on retreat. This general anti-Trump unrest, which has extended all around the country, could link up with the anti-pipeline protests in North Dakota, exacerbating both situations. He could have waited for tensions to die down first. Actions are informal proposals or moved made by the president, which can include proclamations and directives, but are not usually legally binding.

Hang on for a minute.we’re trying to find some more stories you might like.

The problem with not revealing is that it raises suspicion, which apparently will be a constant shadow over the Trump presidency. So President Trump is essentially using his executive power to reverse the course of numerous things that President Obama did, including things like a permanent ban on torture with respect to the Central Intelligence Agency and the Army and USA government officials.

Trump signed another order which prevents non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in favor of abortion rights to receive government funding. The crowd stood as one to scream at the press assembled at the back of the room to “go home”, though my table companions shifted uncomfortably and assured me that they didn’t really mean it for the “honest media”.

In one of his immigration orders, Trump threatened to pull funding from municipalities whose local law enforcement officers don’t detain undocumented immigrants they arrest – an order that could be unconstitutional. He has not taken any action yet but is planning to do so soon.

Reports are they include withdrawing the United States from global organizations like the UN and the WHO, and banning immigration from 7 predominantly Muslim countries while new vetting procedures are put in place.

In August of 2016, the Obama administration announced it had reached its goal of admitting 10,000 Syrian refugees.
