House Speaker Mike Johnson said Thursday that congressional Republicans will codify President Donald Trump’s executive orders to ensure future presidents cannot “unwind” his agenda.
Trump has enacted 108 executive actions in the first four weeks of his presidency, including 73 executive orders, 23 proclamations and 12 memorandums. The House speaker announced during his appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference that Congress would arrange these orders into a systematic code to protect them from future presidents.
“The president [has] 300 executive actions already, and we’re going to codify so much of what he’s doing so the next team can’t unwind it,” Johnson said.
WATCH:
On his first day in office, Trump signed 11 executive orders relating to the border crisis alone, which issued a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border, revoked birthright citizenship for children born to illegal immigrants, reinstated the previously revoked Remain in Mexico policy and ended catch and release. Separate executive orders directed the Office of Management and Budget to terminate diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, direct federal agencies to recognize only two sexes and withdraw the U.S. from the Paris Climate Accord.
Trump established the Department of Government Efficiency to investigate and eliminate wasteful spending by downsizing federal agencies. The newly established agency reported on Monday that it saved the federal government $55 million in spending, dismantled the U.S. Agency of International Development for wasteful spending on left-wing causes, and fired four employees with the Federal Employment Management Agency upon the discovery that they spent $59 million of taxpayer money on housing illegal immigrants in luxury hotels.
The president further signed an executive order on Feb. 5 to prohibit men from competing in women’s sports. That act overturned the Department of Education’s proposed actions, under former President Joe Biden, to expand Title IX to protect against discrimination based on an individual’s gender identity.
