What to know about executive orders as Trump takes office

The article from WFAE discusses the use of executive orders by U.S. Presidents, focusing on Donald Trump's potential actions as he takes office. Executive orders are directives issued by the President that manage operations of the federal government and do not require Congressional approval, though they can be challenged in court. Historically, presidents have used these orders to enact policy changes swiftly, often in areas where legislative action is stalled or to fulfill campaign promises. Trump, known for his extensive use of executive actions during his first term, might again leverage this tool to address immigration, environmental regulations, and other key issues. The article outlines the legal boundaries, historical context, and potential implications of Trump's executive orders, noting that while they can be powerful, they are also subject to judicial review and can be overturned by subsequent administrations or Congress.
