Donald Trump plans to sign more than 50 executive orders Monday — and possibly more than 100 — on the first day of his second presidency, according to a person in his transition operation.
Trump, who is scheduled to take the oath of office inside the Capitol at noon, intends to sign several of the orders in front of a crowd at an event in Capital One Arena in Washington later in the afternoon. The inauguration-related events were moved to indoor locales because of inclement weather in the nation’s capital.
President-elect Donald Trump will be sworn into office Monday, making him the second president to serve two non-consecutive terms and the first convicted felon.
The ceremony takes place midday on Jan. 20 in the Capitol Rotunda. Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance will take their oaths of office at around noon ET. The ceremony traditionally marks the peaceful transfer of power from one administration to the next.
Inauguration festivities, though, will continue throughout the day.
