If Donald Trump had one promise before taking office for a second term, it was to be ruthlessly efficient in carrying out the pledges that won him the presidency.
Earlier this week, the 78-year-old, who served as president from 2017 to 2021, was formally sworn in as the 47th president of the United States. No one can accuse Trump of resting on his laurels, even though there are many things that can be said about his policies and attitude toward… well, pretty much anything.Numerous executive orders, including one pertaining to the death penalty, have already been signed; these are those that do not need congressional approval.
Federal executions have been suspended since the Biden administration succeeded Trump in 2021. When former President Joe Biden commuted 37 death sentences to life in prison, only three defendants were still on federal death row.
