Thanks for the link.

White House Touts 'Historic' 28 Laws Signed By Trump, But What Are They?

an act passed by a legislature or similar body
the body or system of rules recognized by a community that are enforceable by established process.

I hope that helps!

"Of the 28 new laws signed by Trump, two name Veterans Affairs clinics in honor of people, one adds National Vietnam War Veterans Day to the list of days people and businesses are encouraged to fly American flags, five are related to personnel matters (including the waiver allowing James Mattis to become secretary of defense), and one extends an Obama-era policy allowing veterans in some circumstances to get health care outside of the VA system.

"Congress passes laws all the time, naming post offices after people, doing minor things that they can get through," said Leon Panetta, who served as defense secretary in the Obama administration and as chief of staff to President Bill Clinton. Panetta doesn't see any major legislation in this administration's first 100 days.

"Presidents throughout history are acknowledged as a success when they get legislation passed through the Congress — major legislation that affects the lives of people. And that ultimately will be the test for this president," Panetta said.

During the campaign, Trump signed a "Contract With the American Voter," in which he promised to work with Congress to introduce 10 bills "and fight for their passage within the first 100 days of my Administration."

Of those 10, only one — the American Health Care Act — has made it into legislative form, and it has not yet gotten a vote. The Trump administration did announce broad outlines of a tax system overhaul this week, but it isn't expected to be written into legislation until later this year."

I put not much into this, as the 100 days is a simple arbitrary number, HOWEVER, it is just another example of how our President opens his mouth and then gets angry because citizens take him at his word.

There is a ways to go, but so far......nothing.

The Executive Orders are for the most part authorizing studies or reversing anything Obama did.

If he had or will just keep his mouth shut and work, he will maybe have things to crow about, but he is still talking about the election. He sounds like the old high school quarterback always talking about his great games and doing nothing else.

Just shut up, realize what you say has sway and get to learning and governing....election is over.
