President Donald Trump broke the record for most executive orders signed on his first day in office.

The nation's 47th president is already facing legal challenges to some of his most controversial executive actions.

"President Trump has really made political theater a core part of how he uses unilateral power," an American politics professor said.

Four federal lawsuits have been filed already this week challenging Trump 's birthright citizenship executive order.

Critics say people born in the United States are granted citizenship under the Constitution's 14th Amendment even if their birth parents migrated here illegally.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum : "We have to relate as equals, not subordinates".

Some of Trump 's executive actions are "symbolic," but others are "real and they have a real impact on the American people," Lichtman says.

Trump has also withdrawn the United States from the World Health Organization , alleging the organization mishandled the COVID-19 pandemic.
