Monday,
January 20, 2025 - US President-elect, Donald Trump will reportedly
sign more than 200 executive actions on the first day after being inaugurated
as the 47th President of the United States of America on Monday, January 20.
Trump, 78, who won the US Presidential elections in November, defeating
Democrat Kamala Harris, will succeed incumbent President Joe Biden.
The actions include 50 executive orders, which are legally binding, with
some involving border security and domestic energy production, while others are
designed to ensure that federal workers are hired based on
merit, according to Fox News Digital.
Trump plans to start signing the orders immediately after he is
inaugurated, said Jason Miller, a senior adviser for the incoming
administration. Many of the moves will be part of “omnibus” directives.
The incoming president previously indicated he would sign at least 25
orders on his first day in office, the outlet said.
“This is a massive, record-setting, unmatched first wave,” an official
told the outlet. “This is the most extensive list of executive actions in
American history, all guided by a relentless commitment to deliver on the
campaign promise.”
As part of the orders, Trump will declare a national border emergency
that will effectively close the southern US border. It is unclear whether the
country’s northern border will have any immediate action taken against it.
Some of his more extensive Day One plans have already leaked, including
his mass deportation plan slated to begin in Chicago immediately
after his inauguration.
The crackdown would be on top of a potential citizenship order that
would end automatic citizenship to children of illegal migrants born in the
United States.
“On Day One of my new term in office, I will sign an executive order
making clear to federal agencies that under the correct interpretation of the
law, going forward, the future children of illegal aliens will not receive
automatic US citizenship,” Trump said in a video posted in May of 2023.
This order would violate the 14th Amendment and likely be challenged in
the courts.
Trump also has vowed to suspend the security clearances of 51 national
security officials involved in the Hunter Biden laptop scandal ahead
of the presidential election in 2020.
In addition, he will put government offshore wind leases on hold, end
the Biden administration’s electric-vehicle mandates for auto manufacturers,
and withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord, Fox said.
“I want to be a dictator for one day because I’m gonna get going with,
‘Drill, baby, drill,’” Trump said on the campaign trail, referring to domestic
oil production. “After that, I’ll never be a dictator.”
Trump will also institute federal workforce policies warning employees
that they can get the boot if they don’t comply with his directives, that
people will be hired based on merit and that workers will have to get back in
the office as opposed to toiling remotely.
“There is a massive federal workforce that has been moving its objectives at the expense of the American people and President Trump is taking command, saying, ‘You will serve the American people and only American people” the official told Fox. “This is about stopping corrupt, abusive behaviour and re-focusing the government on its fundamental duties to the American people.”
