Trump Executive Order Tracker

Directs executive branch agencies to expand and implement Schedule Policy/Career, an excepted-service personnel category for career federal employees in policy-influencing positions. Transfers designated positions into Schedule Policy/Career, making employees in those roles subject to streamlined removal procedures for poor performance or misconduct while retaining merit-based hiring requirements. Amends civil service regulations, requires agencies to identify additional policy-influencing positions for potential transfer, and establishes new performance award mechanisms to incentivize high-performing employees.

Establishes a policy shift in federal procurement to prioritize fixed-price, performance-based contracts over cost-reimbursement models, aiming to improve cost predictability, strengthen contractor accountability, and reduce government overspending. Requires justification and senior-level approval for non-fixed-price contracts above certain thresholds and directs agencies to review and potentially renegotiate existing high-value contracts to incorporate performance-based pricing.
 
Within 45 days, the Office of Management and Budget must issue implementation guidance. Within 90 days, agencies must review and begin modifying their largest contracts and submit initial reports. Within 120 days, proposed updates to the Federal Acquisition Regulation and training programs must be developed.

Orders automatic, across-the-board spending cuts to non-exempt direct spending programs for fiscal year 2027, as required by law, with reductions applied uniformly based on calculations issued by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to enforce federal budget targets under the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act (P.L. 99-177).

Directs the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to provide pay and benefits to all DHS employees during the ongoing shutdown by reallocating available funds, citing an emergency situation affecting national security and agency operations.

Directs the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Social Security Administration (SSA) to compile and share state-specific citizenship lists with election officials, requires the Department of Justice (DOJ) to prioritize investigations and prosecutions related to election fraud, and instructs the United States Postal Service (USPS) to initiate rulemaking establishing new standards for mail-in and absentee ballots, including tracking and verification measures. Prioritizes federal enforcement actions against election-related fraud and noncompliance, including potential prosecution and withholding of federal funds. 

Directs federal financial regulators to review and potentially revise mortgage lending, servicing, disclosure, capital, and supervisory rules to expand access to mortgage credit, particularly for community banks and smaller lenders. Encourages regulatory changes that reduce compliance burdens, modernize appraisal and digital mortgage processes, and align housing finance policies to promote competition, lower borrowing costs, and increase housing supply.

Extends the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Review Council through March 25, 2026, and continues the interagency body established to assess FEMA's structure, performance and disaster response capabilities. Assigns the Secretary of Homeland Security responsibility for administering the Council under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (P.L. 92-463) while preserving existing agency authorities, budgetary controls and legal limitations.

Directs the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Department of Justice (DOJ), and Department of Labor (DOL) to increase oversight of foreign-owned proxy advisory firms that influence shareholder voting across U.S. public companies. Seeks to curb politically motivated proxy recommendations, particularly those involving diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) agendas, by revising SEC rules, strengthening fiduciary standards, and pursuing potential antitrust or consumer-protection violations. 

Launches the “Genesis Mission,” directing the Department of Energy (DOE) to create a unified national platform combining supercomputers, cloud compute, scientific datasets, domain-specific foundation models and autonomous experimentation tools to accelerate AI-driven scientific discovery. DOE must identify computing resources within 90 days, initial datasets and models within 120 days, robotic laboratory capacity within 240 days, and demonstrate an initial operating capability within 270 days.
