We're starting with a report on a U.S. presidential milestone, a measurement really known as the first 100 days. What has a new U.S. leader done and not done in just over three months after inauguration day?
April 30th will mark 100 days in office for President Joe Biden. By day seven, the new leader had signed dozens of executive orders, new directives from the executive branch. Many of President Biden's orders aimed to unravel the policies of this predecessor former President Donald Trump and many of his orders went against the policies of his predecessor, former President Barack Obama.
So you can see how these can swing back and forth. On this 51st day, President Biden signed a new stimulus package. A $1.9 trillion spending bill intended to ease the financial problems related to coronavirus.
The law had passed in the Democratic controlled Congress on the Democratic president's 50th day but it received no support from Congressional Republicans. Another goal the president had was for 100 million Americans to get at least one dose of coronavirus vaccine by his 100th day. Critics said that goal wasn't ambitious.
That the nation was on track to do that anyway and it happened on President Biden's 58th day. But shortly before that, the U.S. leader announced he'd increase his goal to 200 million doses by his 100th day. We don't know yet if that will be reached. But this is just a sampling of this particular president's actions.
