It's difficult to nail down the precise number of executive orders. I've seen several articles just in the last 24 hours and each states a different number. It's possible some are confusing various executive "actions" with formal executive orders. Reuters, with no reason to exaggerate the number, says it's 40 so I went with that. It's interesting Reuters points out that "nearly half" are reversing President Trump's executive orders, meaning over twenty are breaking new ground. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-biden-executive-orders-analysis-idUSKBN29W2FO
