President Donald Trump has now taken office for a second time. As of April 10, he has signed 112 executive orders. 

Since the 1930s, each president of the United States has signed executive orders once he took office. Between 2017 and 2021, President Trump signed 220 executive orders, ranging from Promoting Agriculture and Rural Prosperity in America, An America-First Healthcare Plan, and Building the National Garden of American Heroes. Now, President Trump’s executive orders continue to focus on American citizens’ concerns. For example, he has signed an order to provide water for California and areas affected by disasters.

“Executive orders have been used since President Abraham Lincoln took office,” junior Brandon Cantrell said. “They are different from laws, as they are specifically made by the president.”

Once President Trump took office, he began his appointments. As the Secretary of Health and Human Services, he appointed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Kennedy’s main concerns are chronic disease, food concerns, and the Make America Healthy Again Agenda. Kennedy partnered with President Trump, Republican Senators Bill Cassidy, Roger Marshall, Rick Scott, and others to promote the agenda regarding America’s health.  

“My expectation that we can have a great working relationship to make America healthy again is the basis of my support,” Cassidy said on the Senate floor.

As Artificial Intelligence grows in regularity, mandates are being put in place. President Trump has honed in on signing orders that contribute toward keeping America’s Artificial Intelligence controlled. For example, President Trump has signed an executive order that revokes older policies on Artificial Intelligence that work as barriers, keeping such systems secure and used. OpenAI’s ChatGPT is used for article revision and solving educational questions. As this system grows more popular, OpenAI has created a branch of their Artificial Intelligence named ChatGPT Gov. for government agencies to use as well.

“I use AI and ChatGPT often for my work,” Government teacher Mark Harris said. “When I go to search something online, I use AI Overview which summarizes the results.”

As problems remain afloat regarding worldly affairs, American citizens’ health and protection, and cutting jobs, President Trump continues to sign orders that focus on ruling out these problems. As federal workers are becoming laid off, President Trump and the rest of the White House work on a plan for the aftermath.
