"A contributing factor to this lack of productivity was President Donald Trump's increasing use of executive orders, often controversial and subject to multiple court challenges. So far in his second term, Trump has signed 224 executive orders, compared to the 52 he signed in 2017 and more than he did during his entire first term. President Joe Biden signed 76 in 2021, his first year in office."
"The House set a record for fewest votes cast during a first year of a two-year congressional session for the entire 21 century thus far. The 362 votes they did cast were barely half as many votes as in 2017, which was Trump's first year in office and another year when the GOP had majority control."
The 119th Congress experienced several records: the longest government shutdown, just 38 bills passed through Dec. 22, and an increasing number of retirements. A significant factor in low legislative output was the increased use of executive orders by President Donald Trump, with 224 signed so far in his second term versus 52 in 2017 and more than his entire first term; President Joe Biden signed 76 in 2021. The House cast only 362 votes in its first year, about half the total in 2017. So far 24 Republicans and 19 Democrats are planning to leave the chamber, including notable retirements.
