They’re going to need a lot of pens!
After President Trump is inaugurated this afternoon, he will head back to the Oval Office to sign Day One executive orders. This is a common occurrence for new administrations.
In a speech on Sunday evening, the President-elect said that he would sign more than 100 executive orders on Monday.
One of those orders will reportedly “pause all offshore wind leases, which could save the North Atlantic right whale from extinction at the hands of industrial wind energy.”
Another, the Free Press reports, will be called “Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government.” It is said to establish “Government-wide the biological reality of two sexes and clearly defines male and female.” It will require government documents to reflect biological reality, including passports. The Biden administration allowed people to self identify on passports and choose a third option for gender called X. That law will be rescinded. It will ends “the practice of housing men in women’s prisons and taxpayer funded ‘transition’ for male prisoners,” such as the one Chelsea Manning had while in prison as Bradley Manning. It also “ends the forced recitation of ‘preferred pronouns’ and protects Americans’ First Amendment and statutory rights to recognize the biological and binary nature of sex.”
When asked if the Trump administration would be ready to fight litigation that will inevitably follow this, a policy adviser said that they are and that they would be “100 percent successful.”
