April 30 marks 100 days of Donald Trump’s second term. Over the past three months, the president has issued more than 100 executive orders that aim to bypass Congress and change policy through unilateral action. His administration imposed sweeping tariffs on every country in the world, withdrew the United States from the World Health Organization, and declared a national emergency at the southern border. It purported to rewrite election rules and end birthright citizenship. It is attacking major law firms. And much more.
But has this flurry of orders effected fundamental change? There are already 46 challenges to executive orders pending in court, and the administration has had no outright victory in any of them. Judges appointed by presidents of both parties have put the brakes on Trump’s plan for change. Will the courts continue to thwart his lawless agenda?
Join the Brennan Center virtually on Wednesday, April 30, at 3 p.m. ET for a discussion with experts about what these three months have made clear about the Trump administration’s priorities and what might lie ahead.
