January 27, 2025: Twenty-six executive orders were signed by President Donald Trump (R) on his first day in office. Executive orders are made by the president to either take action or stop action on policies or management. While legally binding, they are not laws. They are instructions on enforcing law and need to line up with laws already in place and the Constitution. President Trump signed more executive orders on day one than any president since 2001.
