These are the Executive Orders President Biden has Signed So Far
President Biden wasted no time implementing his agenda and turning the page from the Trump years after he was inaugurated Wednesday, signing a slew of executive actions with more on the way.
The new president signed 17 executive orders and other directives on the first day of his presidency in what administration officials have said is an initial wave of actions Biden will take in his first 10 days in office.
Below is a list of all the executive actions Biden has taken thus far.
DAY ONE
Executive order establishing the position of coordinator of the COVID-19 response
Biden signed an executive order establishing the position of coordinator of the COVID-19 response and counselor to the president, known as the COVID-19 response coordinator.
Jeff Zients will fill that role in a move Democrats and other Trump critics said was a long-overdue step in bolstering the federal response to the pandemic.
“The COVID-19 Response Coordinator shall report directly to the President; advise and assist the President and executive departments and agencies (agencies) in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic; coordinate all elements of the COVID-19 response, and perform such duties as the President may otherwise direct,” the order reads.
