Only a week has passed since President Trump was inaugurated into office on January 20th. In that week, many interesting executive orders have been passed, some raising questions while others seem to be going under the radar.
On January 20th, Trump signed an executive order pulling the United States out of the World Health Organization, making the U.S. one of the few countries in the world not actually part of the organization. This decision went into effect immediately after it was signed.
On January 20th, Trump signed an executive order that would rename certain landmarks and major places in the United States. Places like the Gulf of Mexico would be renamed to the Gulf of America, and Alaska’s Denali Mountain would be renamed Mount McKinley. The Secretary of the Interior would be given 30 days to take action and comply with these terms.
On January 20th, Trump signed an executive order to deny citizenship to certain U.S.-born citizens whose parents are not U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents. These children would also not be subject to jurisdiction and would not be covered by the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, which guarantees citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States. This also means denying citizenship to U.S.-born children of non-citizens. Trump also closed down an immigration site, originally set up by former President Joe Biden, that allowed Latin American citizens to safely and legally cross the U.S. border via appointments. Any appointments made during or after the shutdown would be canceled.
With all of these executive orders being passed and more to come, we can expect to see many changes in America since the Biden administration, especially with Trump's new plans to implement Project 2025 in the country.
