Trump Set to Sign Executive Orders at Capitol and Capital One Arena
President-elect Donald Trump is gearing up to sign a series of executive orders at two prominent locations in Washington, D.C. on his first day in office. Sources close to the administration have revealed that Trump plans to kick off his term by signing executive orders at the U.S. Capitol following his inauguration ceremony on Monday. Later in the day, he will continue signing orders at the Capital One Arena, where the inaugural parade and entertainment have been relocated due to inclement weather.
What to Expect on Day One
According to top Trump officials, the President-elect is expected to take more than 200 executive actions on his first day in office. Trump’s advisers are aiming to streamline the process by combining multiple actions into an “omnibus” executive order, allowing Trump to sign off on various directives in one go. This approach will prevent the need for signing numerous individual documents one by one, ensuring a more efficient start to his presidency.
During a rally with his supporters, Trump teased, “You’re going to see executive orders that are going to make you extremely happy. Lots of them, lots of ‘em. We have to set our country on the proper course.” The anticipation is high as Trump gears up to make significant policy moves right out of the gate.
Insights on Executive Actions
In a briefing held with a select group of Republicans, Trump’s incoming White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, Stephen Miller, outlined some of the key executive actions that Trump intends to take. These include declaring a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border, revoking diversity, equity, and inclusion directives from the previous administration, designating cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, and rolling back regulations on electric vehicles and offshore drilling.
Miller also mentioned additional actions in the pipeline, such as ordering troops to aid in border infrastructure construction, reinstating the Remain in Mexico policy, and declaring a national emergency related to energy. Discussions have also touched on terminating Green New Deal policies through executive action.
As plans continue to evolve and finalize, the Trump administration is poised to make a bold statement with a flurry of executive orders on day one. Stay tuned for more updates on the President-elect’s agenda as he steps into the Oval Office.
