First day as US president - Trump expected to sign more than 50 executive orders on Monday
Donald Trump plans to sign more than 50 executive orders on Monday and possibly more than 100 on the first day of his second presidency.
Trump will be sworn in inside the Capitol at noon (6 p.m. in Europe) due to bad weather in the US capital. Trump's first executive orders, some of which could be released later in the week, are expected to include several campaign promises, a reversal of outgoing President Joe Biden's policies and a restructuring of the federal workforce.
The most anticipated action is an order declaring a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border as part of a broader effort to crack down on illegal immigration and other cross-border crimes.
During his first term, Trump declared a national emergency in an attempt to redirect Defense Department funds to build a border wall after Congress refused to give him the money he requested for the project. A federal court blocked his plan, which Biden overturned before the Supreme Court could rule on it.
Trump, who outlined the broad outlines of his plans Sunday with several Republican senators, is also expected to cut off funding for climate-related provisions of the Biden Inflation Reduction Act, a move that could test a president's power to unilaterally withhold funds approved by Congress.
The Shutdown Control Act of 1974 requires the executive branch to spend appropriated funds, but Trump's nominee to head the White House Office of Management and Budget said in a confirmation hearing last week that he does not believe the law is constitutional.
Trump has long promised to reinstate the "Schedule F" policy he announced at the end of his first term in 2020, reclassifying thousands of jobs in the federal civil service.
