Executive Order Protest Poster

Executive orders from President Trump's administration in 2025 have faced legal challenges, particularly one aimed at ending birthright citizenship, with several judges blocking it. A lawsuit filed in federal court in Maryland challenged the constitutionality of two executive orders. Some critics say reliance on executive action creates economic uncertainty and policy solutions that are costly and inadequate and an over reach of power. Additionally, there are concerns about executive orders that may chill free speech and academic freedom. Some find that the high number of executive orders neglects the idea of checks and balances.
