President Trump's second term has been marked by a significant reliance on executive orders, surpassing 100 before reaching 100 days in office. This reliance highlights his governing style, often favoring quick decisions over legislative processes, even with a Republican majority in Congress. While executive orders can have meaningful impacts, they lack the durability of laws passed by Congress and are susceptible to being overturned by future administrations. Trump's mix of orders often reflects his previous campaign promises, although they can create a chaotic approach to governance.
Trump's overreliance on executive orders rather than legislative cooperation reveals a governing style that prioritizes expedience over the challenges of democratic lawmaking.
There’s an inherent tension in the use of executive orders: while they can be impactful, they lack the longevity and legitimacy of laws enacted by Congress.
