Trump's first 100 days – by the numbers
President Trump hit his 100th day in office on Saturday, with the White House claiming they've accomplished more in the opening stretch than any president since Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Fox News took a look at the stats, and broke down the first 100 days by the numbers. From meetings with foreign leaders to golf outings to a flurry of executive orders, here’s what Trump has done in his first 100 days:
Signed 28 bills and resolutions into law
The White House says Trump has signed more legislation in his first 100 days than any president since Harry Truman. It's technically true; Trump signed 28 bills and resolutions into law in his first 100 days, though they generally were not major pieces of legislation. Thirteen of the 28 bills signed were done under the Congressional Review Act to roll back Obama-era regulations.
Here are the other 15 bills Trump signed into law:
· Jan. 20—signed S.84, a bill to allow the appointment of someone for secretary of defense who has not been retired from the Armed Forces for at least seven years. Gen. Jim Mattis had only been retired for three years, requiring a waiver from Congress in order to be confirmed for the Cabinet post—Trump signed this on Inauguration Day.
