Republicans plan to make Trump's executive orders permanent by working together.
One of Trump's orders has already been challenged in court.
President Donald Trump's key executive orders will not expire at the end of his four-year term, as House Republicans have no plans to allow it.
On his first day in office, Trump issued numerous executive orders and indicated that he intends to utilize the commander in chief's authority to implement policy.
While executive orders can be rescinded or challenged when a new administration takes office or if they violate U.S. law, such as Trump's order restricting birthright citizenship.
Several House GOP lawmakers who spoke with Planet Chronicle Digital are indicating that they plan to prevent Trump's key policies from being implemented.
"According to former House Freedom Caucus Chairman Scott Perry, R-Pa., executive actions are necessary to signal but not the most effective way to accomplish tasks. The best approach, he believes, is through the legislative process and a signed bill."
Perry suggested starting with Trump’s orders on the border and energy.
At his weekly press conference, Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., confirmed that Trump's orders will serve as a guide for the House.
"Johnson stated that the America First agenda requires both branches of government to work together. He added that this is the beginning of the legislative agenda."
Rep. Russell Fry, R-S.C., a close ally of Trump, stated to Planet Chronicle Digital that the executive orders are simple because they only need one person to implement them.
Fry emphasized the importance of addressing the legislative aspect in our discussions with him, either by permanently enshrining certain things or by correcting any legal mistakes that may have been abused in the past.
Rep. Gary Palmer, R-Ala., proposed legislation to enshrine Trump's rollback of Biden administration energy policies.
Rep. Michael Guest, R-Miss., the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee's border subcommittee, stated that he supports Congress passing legislation to uphold President Trump's immigration executive orders.
"President Trump's executive orders, including Remain in Mexico and the CBP One app, need to be codified, according to Guest. However, once Trump leaves office in four years, those orders can be undone."
This week, House Science Committee Chair Brian Babin, R-Texas, presented a bill to restrict birthright citizenship, following in the footsteps of Trump's order.
Earlier this month, Freshman Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, introduced legislation to restore the Remain in Mexico policy initiated by Trump.
According to Gill, the border crisis is so severe and detrimental to American citizens that it's evident to everyone, regardless of political affiliation.
On his first day in office, President Biden reversed several of Trump's executive orders and halted the implementation of Remain in Mexico, although this decision was later contested in court.
