Donald Trump signed a series of executive actions immediately afterward He takes the oath As the 47th President of the United States, marking the beginning of his second term.

There are two types of executive actions: Executive orders, which are written orders that are legally binding on the federal government and do not require congressional approval. Presidents also issue proclamations, which are generally not legally binding.

So what is the executive order and what are the most important orders that Trump signed on Monday?

What are executive orders?

Executive orders are official written statements that set the president’s agenda in running the federal government. These may include directives to federal agencies or requests for specific reports. Many orders can be unobjectionable, such as federal employees giving the day after Christmas vacation, and they can also set major policies.

New presidents can, as the head of the executive branch often does, issue orders to overturn those of their predecessors.

Article II of the US Constitution gives the president the power to issue executive orders, according to the American Bar Association (ABA).

“Only a sitting U.S. President may revoke an existing executive order by issuing another executive order to that effect,” American Bar Association (ABA) He said.

According to the association, these orders do not require congressional approval and cannot be vetoed directly by lawmakers. However, Congress can prevent the order from being implemented by cutting funding or imposing other obstacles.

Trump’s plans for this state

“Securing our borders”

In his inaugural address, Trump promised to “stop all illegal entry” and deport millions of “criminal aliens.”

As part of his decisions, Trump declared a national emergency on the US-Mexico border, and ordered the deployment of troops to enhance border security.

He resumed border wall construction that began during his first term in 2017, and reinstated the “Remain in Mexico” program, which requires asylum seekers to wait in Mexico during U.S. immigration proceedings.

“All illegal entries will be stopped immediately. We will begin the process of sending millions and millions of criminal aliens back to where they came from,” Trump said. His administration also shut down an app used for immigration appointments and said existing appointments had been canceled.

Completion intentions announced Citizenship by birth For children of illegal immigrants.

Birthright citizenship, which guarantees citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil, is protected by the 14th Amendment and any attempt to repeal it would likely result in immediate legal challenges.

Trump also designated international cartels and gangs as “global terrorists,” expanding government powers to combat human trafficking and drug smuggling. He also promised to “eliminate the presence of all foreign gangs and criminal networks” in the United States.

“You can do whatever you have to do to get out of this, and we have that kind of emergency,” Trump said late Monday.

Pardoning the January 6 US Capitol attack

Trump also issued advertisement to pardon Nearly 1,500 individuals were convicted in connection with the Capitol attack on January 6, 2021, ending federal cases against political opponents of the outgoing administration.

Trump said in a statement posted on the White House website: “This announcement ends a grave national injustice committed against the American people over the past four years and begins a process of national reconciliation.”

Trump’s pardons erased everything from many of those convicted of the most serious crimes on January 6, including Enrique Tarrio, the former leader of the far-right Proud Boys, who was He was sentenced to 22 years in prison In prison on charges of sedition conspiracy.

The pardon also erased the criminal records of more than 700 people convicted of crimes, such as trespassing, and put an end to hundreds of pending prosecutions.

Separately, Trump directed the termination of federal cases against “political opponents” of the Biden administration, specifically targeting cases involving his supporters.

“Reclaiming Biological Truth”: Redefining Gender Roles

Another major decision was to order the federal government to recognize only two sexes, male and female. This is in line with his rhetoric against “woke” culture.

“As of today, the official policy of the United States government from now on will be that there are only two sexes, male and female,” Trump said during his inauguration speech.

“Sex shall refer to the established biological classification of an individual as male or female,” the order stated. “Sex” is not synonymous and does not include the concept of “gender identity.”

Pause TikTok blocking

Trump also signed an executive order temporarily suspending the TikTok ban.

It pauses The law is for 75 daysThis allows companies cooperating with TikTok to avoid legal consequences during this period.

The order stated that this pause aims to give the administration time “to pursue a decision that protects national security while saving a platform used by 170 million Americans.”

“Basically, with TikTok, I have the right to sell it or shut it down, and we will make that decision, and we may have to get approval from China as well. I’m not sure, but I’m sure they will approve it.”

He also said that his administration would work on a “joint project” between the United States and other undisclosed entities. “I think you have a lot of people who might be interested in TikTok with the United States as a partner,” he added.

Withdrawal from the World Health Organization and the Paris Climate Agreement

Under the new executive order, Trump withdraws the United States from the World Health Organization and the Paris Agreement.

“World Health deceived us, everyone deceived the United States. “That will not happen anymore,” Trump said while signing the order.

The United States plans to withdraw within 12 months and cease all financial contributions to its operations. As the largest financial supporter of the UN health agency, this decision represents a major shift.

He also signed an order to withdraw from the “unfair, unilateral Paris climate agreement.” It is a major setback for the fight against climate change in the United States, the world’s second-largest emitter of greenhouse gases.

At the UN climate summit in Paris in 2016, countries pledged to cut fossil fuels as part of the global response to the threat of climate change.

Trump had withdrawn from the landmark climate agreement during his first term – a decision that was reversed by his predecessor, Joe Biden, who promised to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 under a $2 trillion plan to transform the economy.

The US President declared an energy emergency as it stands “Dig, baby, dig,” she promised. He said he would rescind what he calls Biden’s electric vehicle mandate.

Renaming the Gulf of Mexico and Denali

Trump also ordered the names of the Gulf of Mexico and Mount Denali in Alaska to be changed.

“Shortly from now, we will change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to America’s Gulf,” the US President said on Monday shortly after he was sworn in.

The US President also issued an order to return the name denali, The highest mountain in North America, Mount McKinley. In 2015, President Barack Obama changed the name to Denali, located in Alaska, to reflect its indigenous roots.

Federal hiring process

Trump also froze hiring in the federal government, with exceptions for the military and other unspecified sectors. He also paused the introduction of new federal regulations while he works to create his second administration.

The order seeks “the effective use of existing staff and funds to improve public services and the delivery of these services.”

He also formally tasked the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, to streamline government operations.
