President Trump Just Signed His First Executive Order, and It Is, Of Course, About Obamacare
That was fast.
President Donald Trump has signed his first executive order as president, ordering federal agencies to ease the burden of President Barack Obama's sweeping health care law.
Presidential spokesman Sean Spicer refused to offer details on the order.
Trump was joined in the Oval Office by Vice President Mike Pence, White House chief of staff Reince Priebus and other top advisers as he signed the executive order on the so-called "Obamacare" law that he opposed throughout his campaign.
Trump also formally signed the commissions of incoming Defense Secretary James Mattis and Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly.
The White House says Priebus was also sending a memorandum to agencies and departments instituting an immediate freeze on regulations. No additional details were immediately available.
Asked about his first day as president, Trump says, "It was busy but good—a beautiful day."
