How Joe Biden's Executive Orders in First 100 Days Compare to Donald Trump's

President Joe Biden will soon mark his first 100 days in office. The Democrat was inaugurated on January 20 and had ambitious plans for his first few months on the job.

The first 100 days are an unofficial way to measure a new president's success in setting their agenda. Former President Donald Trump's 100 days ran from January 20 to April 30, 2017.

Both Biden and Trump issued a series of executive orders (EOs) during this period, which are recorded by the Federal Register.

Many of Trump's early EOs focused on national security but his first took aim at the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known was Obamacare. That order reiterated a long-held Republican ambition to repeal ACA, though this was not achieved during Trump's time in office.

The EO authorized federal agencies and heads of executive departments to waive, defer or delay ACA requirements if they could impose a "fiscal burden" on a state or costs on individuals, families, patients, health care providers and others in the healthcare industry.

Trump's third EO focused on border security and committed to building a "physical wall" on the southern border, a key aspect of his 2016 presidential campaign. An order signed on January 30, 2017 sought to eliminate two regulations for every new regulation introduced, another long-standing Republican aim.

Many of Biden's EOs have unsurprisingly focused on tackling the COVID-19 pandemic, while others rolled back some of Trump's orders. His very first EO, issued on January 20, dealt with racial equality and sought to advance it through the federal government.

Biden's third EO, also signed on inauguration day, addressed the pandemic and appointed a COVID-19 Response Coordinator to organize the White House and federal government approach. That coordinator is Jeff Zients.

As part of the response to COVID, Biden also introduced a mask mandate for federal properties. That order also encouraged mask-wearing across the country. On April 9, Biden fulfilled a campaign pledge by issuing an EO establishing a commission to study possible reforms of the Supreme Court.

Below is a list of both sets of EOs that give a snapshot of the administration's differing agendas. EOs are often signed and published on different dates. This list uses the date the president signed the order and lists the EOs from earliest to most recent.
