If we're still talking Trump?
Two of the early things he does in office?
"Ethics Commitments by Executive Branch Appointees"
Signed: Jan. 28, 2017
This order stops all executive branch officials from lobbying for five years after they leave office and places a lifetime ban on lobbying a foreign government.
The order enacts a number of other lobbying restrictions, including banning appointees from accepting gifts from registered lobbyists and banning appointees who were lobbyists from participating in any issues they petitioned for within the last two years.
Some raised concerns over how Trump will
fill the jobs in his administration under the new rules.
"Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs"
Signed: Jan. 30, 2017
The order states that executive departments and agencies must slash two regulations for every one new regulation proposed. Regulation spending cannot exceed $0, and any costs associated with regulations must be offset with eliminations.
The order also directs the head of each agency to keep records of the cost savings, to be sent to the president.
Also.
On January 23, 2017, President Donald Trump signed a presidential memorandum implementing a hiring freeze for all new and existing positions except those in national security, public safety, and the military.0
The freeze lasted 79 days, with the Office of Management and Budget issuing guidance to end it 11 days before the president's initial deadline. However, the freeze was lifted on April 12, 2017, and agencies were allowed to resume hiring without restriction or approval from the Office of Personnel Management.
Two of his better Executive Orders, and the hiring freeze.
Like I said. He did try. He also failed.
