Since returning to the White House on January 20, Donald Trump has signed a whopping 79 executive orders touching on issues from foreign policy to transgender rights.

Trump has met fierce resistance. By February 27, 16 of the orders had been challenged in court, according to monitoring by Just Security at the New York University School of Law.
