Wed Feb 12 11:59:01 UTC 2025: ## Trump Surpasses Prior Executive Order Record in First Month
**Washington D.C., February 12, 2025** – President Donald Trump has signed 61 executive orders since assuming office on January 20th, surpassing the number signed by any recent president within their first 100 days. This exceeds even the 33 executive orders he signed during his entire first term.
The orders cover a broad spectrum of issues, including controversial tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China (temporarily paused for Mexico and Canada until March 4th), withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, and measures targeting illegal immigration. However, several executive orders have faced legal challenges and have been partially or fully blocked by the courts.
A detailed breakdown of each executive order, categorized for easy reference, is available online. The ongoing tally of executive orders will be updated as President Trump issues further directives. The legality of some of these actions, such as an order on birthright citizenship, remains a subject of debate and legal scrutiny.
