Donald Trump made history in the first 100 days of his tenure, surpassing the record of the number of execution orders issued by former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in the same window.
To date, Trump has signed more than 135 executive orders during his first 100 days of his second semester - from 33 signs he signed in the first 100 days of his first semester, and also from 99 Roosevelts signed in the period.
Experts say a large number of execution orders show that power has been transferred to the legislative branch and also shows that Trump has clear priorities this semester.
Trump's approach shows that power has been transferred from Congress and the executive branch is taking on more legislatures, a trend that is likely to continue into future administrations.

"Now, most of the federal government's power is placed in the executive branch, so it does show that the president can implement a very broad and large agenda through executive actions," Braulier said. "So, I hope that future presidents may follow Trump's leadership."
Brauer said the 100 days are crucial to setting the president’s agenda and pushing media coverage of these initiatives – which has become increasingly challenging as the term progresses.
"These initial directions are very important in advance because if not, if not, if not, if not, if not, you will run out of your presidency," Brauer said.
Additionally, according to Thomas Berry, director of the Center for Constitutional Research, the liberal think tank, the Trump administration has put forward a large number of execution orders because it has been in office for four years.
It is clear that the Trump administration has considered what issues to target in the execution of orders for a long time, and that many of them are focused on removing the obstacles he faced in his first term, Berry said. This includes executive orders that could mitigate restrictions on firing federal employees, Berry said.

"It's clear that many of these executive orders are designed to try to overcome obstacles they see as his agenda," Berry said.
"The weakness of executive orders is that they can be simply reversed by the subsequent president. It's not the stone in the regulations," Berry said. "A possible exception is that if you weaken an institution, it's hard to re-establish it under the next administration."
For example, Berry said that mass layoffs at agencies such as the United States International Development Agency (USAID) could be supplemented by several governments. The Trump administration announced plans in March to reduce the agency’s thousands of employees — an independent agency historically dedicated to providing assistance and development assistance to poor countries and moving its remaining functions to the State Department.
Similarly, Trump signed an executive order in March to remove the education department and said the functions of institutions responsible for overseeing student loans and financial aid will be transferred to separate institutions.
Berry said the shock of the executive order is putting pressure on the judiciary as more than 150 lawsuits have filed executive orders challenging Trump. These included high-profile cases, including ending reproductive citizenship and prohibiting transgender people from serving in the military, which was temporarily blocked.

"This makes it difficult for the judiciary to keep up," Berry said. "This is taxing the courts to the limit and is forcing the courts to act quickly, and the judiciary is not acting well when forced to act very quickly."
“To some extent, it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy when Trump complains that judges don’t have much law or deliberation,” Berry said. “It’s because the administration forces them to step forward by taking all of these actions right away, not for the normal deliberation time.”

Berry expects that as most of the first 100 days appear to have been pre-planned, the pace of order execution will slow down in the near future.
"I hope they will run out, of course, at the end of his first year, if not in the next few months, they will run out and then anyone else will react," Berry said.
