President Joe Biden didn’t waste any time getting to work and undoing some of the things Donald Trump did during his term. Wednesday evening, he signed 17 executive actions. VOX writes that “his presidency is beginning with an aggressive first 10 days in the Oval Office…”
The promised actions span from the substantive to more symbolic. Some repeal key parts of former President Donald Trump’s agenda; others lay the groundwork for some of Biden’s own progressive promises.
Before signing the orders Biden remarked, “I’m proud of today’s executive actions. I’m going to start by keeping the promises I made to the American people. Long way to go. These are just executive actions. They are important but we’ll need legislation for a lot of things we’re going to do.”
