Presidential Executive Orders

• Return To In-Person Work

  January 20, 2025 (W.H. Link) - Requires executive branch department and agency heads to terminate remote work arrangements and require employees to return to in-person work at their duty stations full-time. Exemptions may be granted at the discretion of department and agency heads as deemed necessary.

• Delivering Emergency Price Relief For American Families And Defeating The Cost-Of-Living Crisis

  January 20, 2025 (W.H. Link) - The memorandum criticizes the Biden Administration for policies it claims caused historic inflation, including excessive government spending, overregulation, and energy restrictions that raised costs for fuel, food, housing, and other essentials. It highlights regulatory burdens that allegedly increased housing prices and vehicle costs, particularly through mandates favoring electric vehicles.

  To address these issues, the memorandum directs executive departments and agencies to deliver emergency price relief and improve prosperity by:

  • Lowering housing costs and expanding supply.

  • Reducing healthcare costs by eliminating unnecessary expenses.

  • Removing counterproductive regulations on home appliances.

  • Increasing employment opportunities.

  • Eliminating climate policies that raise food and fuel costs.

  The Assistant to the President for Economic Policy must report on progress within 30 days and continue reporting monthly.

• Initial Rescissions Of Harmful Executive Orders And Actions

  January 20, 2025 (W.H. Link) - The order asserts that the previous administration implemented unpopular and harmful practices, including embedding "diversity, equity, and inclusion" (DEI) into Federal institutions, which it claims undermines merit and equality. It criticizes open border policies for straining resources and climate policies for driving inflation and overregulation. Relevant executive orders revoked include:

  • Executive Order 13999 of January 21, 2021 (Protecting Worker Health and Safety).

  • Executive Order 14003 of January 22, 2021 (Protecting the Federal Workforce).

  • Executive Order 14035 of June 25, 2021 (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility in the Federal Workforce).

  • Executive Order 14055 of November 18, 2021 (Nondisplacement of Qualified Workers Under Service Contracts).

  • Executive Order 14069 of March 15, 2022 (Advancing Economy, Efficiency, and Effectiveness in Federal Contracting by Promoting Pay Equity and Transparency).

  The order mandates the immediate termination of Federal implementation of "unlawful and radical DEI ideology" by agency heads (SEE RELATED EXECUTIVE ORDER). It further directs the Directors of the Domestic Policy Council (DPC) and National Economic Council (NEC) to review actions taken under previous administration directives, recommending within 45 days which should be rescinded, replaced, or amended to "enhance American prosperity." Additionally, the National Security Advisor (NSA) must review all National Security Memoranda (NSMs) issued between January 20, 2021, and January 20, 2025, to identify any harm to national security, domestic resilience, or American values, and provide recommendations for rescission within the same timeframe.
