President Donald Trump has spent his first days using his executive authority to rewrite American policy and undo a string of decisions made by former president Barack Obama. Here’s a running list of the new president’s executive actions:

There is one thing he must do and soon.

Oh yeah? Well now you’ll never get to see what Jeb was gonna do. :)
Killing Obama’s executive orders and actions on Day One have not occurred. Sad fact. Wish he would directly spell out plans.
Agreed. This is my single complaint at the moment.
Reagan 381 Bush 166 Clinton 364 Bush 291 Obama 275 end snip
Yeb! would still be finding the bathrooms in the White House.
