The presidency of Donald Trump began at noon EST on January 20, 2017, the day that Donald

Trump was inaugurated as the 45th President of the United States,[1] succeeding Barack Obama.
Trump, a Republican, was a businessman from New York City at the time of his victory in the 2016
presidential election over Democrat Hillary Clinton. His running mate, former Governor Mike
Pence of Indiana, took office as the 48th Vice President of the United States on the same day.
Trump's term in office is set to end on January 20, 2021, though he is eligible for election to a
second term and has declared his intention to run.
During his first few months in office, as of June 2017, Trump has issued 38 executive orders and
27 presidential memoranda. The executive orders 13769 and 13780 dealing with denying admission
to the US of people from several foreign countries have been halted by federal courts, however the
Supreme Court partially revoked the injunctions. Trump's nominee to the Supreme Court, Neil
Gorsuch, was confirmed by the United States Senate on April 7, 2017.
