Biden Signs 17 Executive Orders On First Day In Office, Includes Controversial Actions

President Joe Biden signed 17 Executive Orders on his first day in office, which included a number of controversial actions that took political aim at erasing as much of President Donald Trump’s presidency.

The move by Biden comes after he repeatedly called for “unity” during his inaugural address on Wednesday afternoon.

One of the most controversial Executive Orders that Biden signed “unilaterally eviscerate[d] women’s sports,” author and women’s rights activist Abigail Shrier wrote on Twitter. “Any educational institution that receives federal funding must admit biologically-male athletes to women’s teams, women’s scholarships, etc. A new glass ceiling was just placed over girls.”

Biden signed another executive order that forced the U.S. to rejoin the Paris Agreement. Biden also axed the Keystone XL pipeline, an energy project that was beneficial for the United States and quickly triggered negative reactions from Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who said that he was “disappointed.”
