Recasting Executive Authority: How Donald Trump’s Second Term Tested the Limits of Presidential Power
Presidential Power: In the first hundred days of Donald J. Trump’s second term, the White House unleashed a torrent of presidential directives that reshaped the federal bureaucracy and challenged long-standing legal constraints on executive action. Between January 20 and April 30, 2025, President Trump signed 143 executive orders—more than any president since at least 1950 over a comparable period—and revoked or rescinded hundreds of regulations issued by his predecessors, from Joe Biden’s COVID-era mandates to Lyndon B. Johnson’s landmark anti-discrimination rules for federal contractors. These sweeping directives not only reversed policies across immigration, environmental regulation, and civil-rights enforcement but also tested the constitutional boundaries of unilateral executive power.
