On the recordMay 15, 2025
so far, President Trump has signed over 151 executive orders. The Congress has only sent him five bills to sign into law, a historically low number. That is on us. We are legislators, and we have a constitutional duty to legislate. Unless codified into law, President Trump's historic government reforms are in jeopardy. Congress must get to work locking in these victories for good. We can't afford for future administrations to erase them with the stroke of a pen. Republican Members of Congress are quick to praise President Trump's executive orders, but we are very slow to codify them. It doesn't matter if we have to vote 7 days a week. We need to be mass-producing bills that codify the same executive orders that have been keeping our constituents safe. Congress has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to achieve victories that Republicans have always talked about. We need to get this done.
