Donald Trump is set to be sworn in as the 47th U.S. President today, marking a remarkable comeback for a leader who never conceded his 2020 election defeat and faced multiple criminal cases, including a felony conviction.
According to PTI reports, shortly after being sworn in as the 47th President of the United States, Donald Trump is expected to sign a series of executive orders on immigration, border security, energy, and governance, a close aide revealed on Sunday.
“The breadth of the orders, which would make major changes to immigration, energy and government hiring policies, illustrates the urgency with which Trump and his team plan to launch an ambitious agenda,” PTI reported citing the Wall Street Journal.
Executive Order
An executive order is a directive issued unilaterally by the president that carries the force of law. Unlike legislation, executive orders do not need Congressional approval. While Congress cannot overturn them, they can be challenged in court.
In a briefing with senior Republican leaders, Stephen Miller, Trump’s incoming White House deputy chief of staff for policy, disclosed that the executive orders will include declaring a state of emergency on the southern border, preparing for military deployment at the borders, classifying cartels as “foreign terrorist organizations,” reinstating the “Remain in Mexico” policy, ending the “Catch and Release” policy, and declaring an energy-related emergency.
