President Donald Trump has been back in office for almost a year -- roughly 315 days -- and has governed with the urgency of a turnaround CEO. He hit the ground running, signing executive orders immediately after inauguration and maintaining a pace unmatched in modern politics.
But what becomes of all this action? Executive orders can be reversed the moment a new president arrives unless Congress codifies them into law. That’s the key difference between temporary executive action and lasting legislative reform.
According to Ballotpedia, “As of November 25, 2025, President Donald Trump had signed 217 executive orders, 54 memoranda, and 110 proclamations in his second presidential term, which began on January 20, 2025.”
Yet House Speaker Mike Johnson acknowledged that Congress has codified only 28 of these actions into law through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
That’s barely 13 percent - almost identical to Gallup’s 15 percent job-approval rating for Congress. Coincidence or correlation? Likely both.
What EOs did Congress codify? Three major categories of Trump’s executive actions did become law:
- Energy, mining, and land-use reforms - a structural shift toward domestic production
- Cost-efficiency, anti-waste, and bureaucracy-reduction measures
- Sweeping immigration and border-security policies
These are significant accomplishments, but they represent only a fraction of Trump’s overall MAGA agenda.
Where has Congress dropped the ball? Some of the most consequential orders have not been codified:
- Withdrawing the U.S. from the World Health Organization
- Establishing a digital-asset framework while banning a central bank digital currency (CBDC)
- Ending DEI and gender-ideology indoctrination in K–12 education

What bills would make it through the Senate?
congress isn’t asleep. They are intentionally slow walking the Donald Trump presidency. They are waiting him out, looking to return to ‘normal’ in three years.
Deep State owns our Congress.
The UK’s owns their Parliament.
I’m beginning to think we will not vote our way out of this.
“ What bills would make it through the Senate?”
Anything that can be done through reconciliation. Instead of having something ready to go when Congress went back in session, House Republicans just went home on a five week vacation. I find them almost entirely to be disgusting. All they care about is themselves.
of course. And about a year before Trump is out of office, all we are going to hear about is going to be the next mamby-pamby democrat fruit who, once in office will just overturn everything through executive order and that will be that
Congress continues to use baseline budgeting.
Refuses to end the use of baseline budgeting.
That tells anyone everything they need to know about Congress.
Republicans don’t want drastic change anymore than Democrats do.
That is ... they want to return to the way they worked before, by stuffing their pockets!!!!
Congress dropped the ball? Some of the most consequential orders have not been codified.
Congress as the Senate is infested with incompetence nothing more than a good old boy club.
Global club members wink
Call Congress: As of Nov 25, 2025, President Trump signed 217 executive orders, 54 memoranda, and 110 proclamations in his second presidential term. Yet Congress has codified only 28 of these into law, barely 13 percent. Btw, Gallup gives Congress a 15 percent job-approval rating
As predicted, we are reliving the feckless GOP’s 2017-2020 dunce performance designed to impede President Trump...
Exactly. And nothing will stop them from doing this unless we can change things with the midterms. Unless we get rid of the deep state lackeys and replace them with people who are loyal to Trump and enable to implement his vision we are just going to return to the old swamp in a few years.
Congress is replete with back benchers who play “the WDC game” every second of their truly worthless existence. These people are parasites on society...and they know it.
That’s the typical way of the mostly useless gop congress.
Congress is not “asleep at the wheel”.
The house has a hair thin GOP majority (perhaps about to flip), and the Senate has a strong Uniparty majority unwilling to go along with any serious MAGA reforms.
Republican’ts are disgusting do nothings. Spit. They are waiting out Trump. It’s obvious.
“Congress Asleep at the Wheel”
Congre$$ Asleep at the Wheel
There, fixed it
