The first 100 days of President Trump's term have at times felt like a tectonic shift in American

government. So it might surprise you that so far Trump has only signed five bills from Congress

into law, the fewest to start a presidential administration in seven decades. That's according to an

analysis by Time magazine. Trump has instead governed largely by unilateral executive

action and left lawmakers on the sidelines. He listed some of those actions at a rally in Michigan

on Tuesday. Last month, I signed a historic executive order to begin the process. I signed executive

orders to abolish critical race theory. I signed an order that will lend automatic citizens. I also signed an order to require proof. And I signed an order making English the

official language of the United States of a matter. Executive orders are not new, but Trump has pushed

the limits of his power further than any modern president. He's slashed money appropriated by Congress, a move Democratic

Senator Patty Murray of Washington attacked as unconstitutional in an NPR interview earlier this year.

We passed it with Democrats and Republicans in the House and Senate. The president signs it into law.

He cannot then break that law and say, well, I like this part, but not this part. That's called

impoundment and it is illegal. And his administration has resisted court orders saying they

infringe on the president's constitutional authority. On Tuesday, Trump was asked in an ABC

interview about Kilmar Obrego Garcia. He's an immigrant who the Trump administration

deported to a Salvador in prison by mistake, a mistake they have admitted. The Supreme Court

has affirmed a federal judge's order that the Trump administration facilitate Abrago Garcia's

return from El Salvador. ABC correspondent Terry Moran pressed Trump on that point.

And depending how you define facilitate, Trump seemed to admit he was defying the order.

You could get him back. There's a phone on this desk.

I could pick it up and all the power of the presidency. You could call up the president of El

Salvador and say, send him back right now. And if he were the gentleman that you say he is, I would do that.
