Speaker Johnson: GOP Will Attempt To Codify Trump Orders Into Law

House Speaker Mike Johnson announced Thursday that congressional Republicans plan to codify President Donald Trump’s executive orders to prevent future presidents from “unwinding” his agenda.

Trump has signed 108 executive actions in his first four weeks in office, including 73 executive orders, 23 proclamations, and 12 memorandums. During his appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference, the House speaker revealed that Congress would organize these orders into a systematic code to safeguard them from being overturned by future administrations. “The president [has] 300 executive actions already, and we’re going to codify so much of what he’s doing so the next team can’t unwind it,” Johnson said to applause from the audience.
