In a clear departure from the usual proceedings of a president's inauguration, January 20 saw President Joe Biden hit the ground running with a series of executive orders and directives.
As my colleague Ryan Ford outlined, the first 15 of these ran the gamut from climate change to the nation's COVID-19 response to immigration to racial and LGBTQ+ equality measures. Among the most notable of these were orders for the United States to rejoin the Paris climate agreement and the World Health Organization, with Dr. Anthony Fauci representing the nation in the latter case.
But it was also clear from that round of executive orders that more would be soon to come and they have already doubled by his third day of office.
