AThe elections in which Donald Trump won the President and his party held the house and won the Senate, fantasized by the leaders of the congress quickly all the legislation they could adopt. They provided for bills that rewrote the immigration law, reduced regulations and fulfilled Trump's bold campaign promises.
However, the first 100 days of Trump's second term of office paint a more complex picture. Instead of relying on a Republican -led congress, Trump has largely leaned on the activities of the executive to carry out his agenda, issuing an unprecedented 135 executive orders after taking office in January. At the beginning of his administration, Trump is largely over the congress, which is a sharp pause from his first term. Until now, the Congress has adopted only six bills, five of which have been signed in the law – the least of the presidents in the first 100 days of the last seven decades, according to Congress.
At the time of his first term, Trump had already signed 30 bills – a high watermark for presidents in this century. Former President Joe Biden signed 10 invoices by the 100th day in 2021, compared to Barack Obama 14 in 2009 and George W. Bush of seven in 2001. Some of the previous presidents – including Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter – signed 20 or more legislation in their first 100 days.
Trump's second term of office signed by the bill is signed and applied to the consolidation of the dramatic shift. Congress has been relatively modest: three of the six bills were measures to cancel the rules of the Biden Administration's rules, such as the abolition of environmental protection and cryptocurrency taxation rules adopted under the Congress Review Act. The second was the Bill on Finance Funding to keep the government open. Other invoices were Laken Riley Act, immigration detention measure and take it Down Act, which Trump should soon sign it after it was overwhelming on Monday. The bill criminalizes non -consensible deepening porno and requires platforms to take off such material within 48 hours after the notice.
If the congress is largely aside under Trump's second administration, the majority The Republicans of the Capitol Mountain have supported His unlimited use of executive power. Trump has often used rarely used laws to promote its agenda, such as calling In 1798, the Law on Strangers' Enemies organized mass deportations and the introduction of tariffs for the introduction of the national emergency in the countries of the world.
“The executive always wants to control more things, but in the past there are members – be it a democratic president or Republican president – always withstand it,” Chuck Schumer, Senate's minority leader, told reporters in March. “This didn't happen for the first time this year. They just leaned on the President and they gave up their power.”
Trump is now inviting Republicans in Congress to accept what many call his “one big, beautiful bill” – a massive legislative package aimed at cementing many of his campaigns to promise. The aim of the bill is to expand the 2017 tax cuts, expand domestic energy production, enforcement of funds and increase military expenses.
In the meantime, Trump's relying on the orders of the executive has become a decisive feature of his presidency when passing by by passing the Congress. Constitutional scientists and political analysts have warned that the high volume of executive authorities tries the limits of the presidential power, causing concern about the possible erosion of the rule of law.
Congress has achieved – and what Republicans still hope for – when Trump's second presidency reached 100-day sign.
Laken Riley Act
The Congress' passing measure with the highest profile was Laken Riley Act, named after a nursing student who was murdered last year by a Venezuelan immigrant, illegally in the country and has previously been arrested and released by Border Patrol.
The bill, which has written its president within nine days, changes the way the Federal Government is handling illegally in the country's immigrants, and authorizes the obligations accused of theft, burglary or other serious crimes until their cases are resolved. The bill requires the secretary of the Ministry of Internal Security to arrest foreigners who are charged with theft and other purposes “, which means that immigration officials should arrest and detain.
Finally, the house passed the Republicans with unanimous support and 215 from 46 Democrats. The Senate joined the 12 Democrats with all Senate Republicans to move the bill.
Avoid the closure of the government
The Congress succeeded in preventing the government closure in late March, passing the Bill on Stop Funding to keep federal agencies on the end of the financial year. The efforts required careful maneuvering of GOP leaders and the surprising cooperation of ten Senate Democrats, who voted with the Republicans.
In their party, Chuck Schumer, the leader of the Senate minorities, criticized the voting of legislation, which, according to the critics, removed numerous funding directives and gave Trump to repent the money because he held suitability without fear of judicial intervention.
Back to Biden Administration Rules
One area where Trump and Congress Republicans have been unusually productive is the use of the Congress Review Act, but a little used law that allows the congress to revoke recent Federal regulations with a simple majority, passing the Senate Filibuster. Of the five bills signed by Trump, three of the CRA resolutions aimed at demolition of the Biden era rules.
In March, Trump signed a resolution that exceeded the remuneration of the waste – the environmental regulation ended at the end of the presidency. Although the parts of Biden's wider climate program remain in place, Republicans managed to cancel this particular fee with methane emissions. In the same month, Trump also signed a CRA resolution, which blocked the Ocean's Energy Management Bureau, which required the presentation of detailed archaeological studies in the offshore petroleum and gas companies. The Republicans claimed that the rule created unnecessary correlation costs for energy producers.
And in April, Trump signed a bill under the law to revoke a revised rule of the domestic income service, which expanded the definition of a broker to cover decentralized cryptocurrency exchanges.
Take it to act
After Monday, a bilateral bill sent to Trump's table, criminalizing non -consensible in -depth damage porn, will soon become the law. The aim of the first Lady Melania Trump support is to stop the scourge of illegal shapes created by AI, which has exploded in recent years, with the rapid improvement of AI-tools, to consciously post to post a federal crime or threaten to disclose pornographic images and real people's videos.
Trump has said that it would be signed to the Bill Act: “I intend to use this bill even if you do not mind, because no one is treated worse than me on the web,” he said at the beginning of March. A few days earlier, Melania Trump organized a press conference with Deepfake victims – her first solo public performance from the role of the first lady.

Next: Trump's “Great, Beautiful Invoice”
Now is the attention of what Republicans hope to be their crowning legislative achievements: a huge package aimed at expanding the 2017 tax cuts, applying additional tax credit, increasing boundaries, expanding energy production and slashing federal expenditure by at least $ 1,5 trillion dollars.
“Republicans, now more important than ever we are taking one, big, beautiful bill,” Trump posted the social in April. “The US is getting up like ever !!!”
At the beginning of this month, the house and the Senate adopted a resolution in the budget to begin with the name of reconciliation, which will hopefully allow them to take the measure without democratic support. But the important distributions of the GOP Course will remain. Senate Republicans set a relatively modest $ 4 billion goal for cuts, while householders have orders to save at least $ 1.5 trillion dollars – a gap that is difficult to overcome. Disagreements have already been planned over the cuts of Medicaid, Food Aid and Pure Energy. Moderate Republicans from Swing Districts go to deep cuts of social security programs, even if hard lines require a more aggressive reduction.
Adding pressure is a threat to the government's insolvency. The bill is expected to include a provision that raises the federal debts ceiling by as much as $ 5 trillion, which the Treasury Department warns at the end of the summer to avoid an unprecedented financial crisis. Economists of political spectrum have warned that the extension of Trump's tax cuts without equivalent new income or significant changes in justification programs such as social security can incite a federal deficit to a record level.
