US President Donald J. Trump ’s first 100 days in office have been unlike any other.
How has his tenure equated with that of the preceding three presidents?
We observed at how many executive orders they signed.
Here is how they measure up:
Executive Orders
2017 | Donald J. Trump | 30 |
2009 | Barack Obama | 19 |
2001 | George W. Bush | 11 |
1993 | Bill Clinton | 13 |

President Donald Trump said Barack Obama was ill-treating his authority by signing so many executive orders.
“Why is Barack Obama constantly issuing executive orders that are major power grabs of authority?,” Trump tweeted on 10th of July, 2012.
On the other hand in just 100 days, Trump has signed closely as many as Obama averaged in a year.
