  • A few days after former United States President Donald Trump took office in 2017, he signed an executive order that aimed to fulfill his campaign promise to drain the swamp in Washington, D.C., by banning former officials from lobbying. In the wee hours of Trump's final day in office, he revoked his own executive order. Executive Order 13770, entitled Ethics Commitments by Executive Branch Appointees, was signed by Trump on Jan. 28, 2017. Here's an excerpt from that executive order: While Executive Order 13770 received some criticism at the time — NPR reported that it was very similar to previous executive orders signed by former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton — it was largely seen as an attempt to fulfill Trump's campaign promise to drain the swamp. At around 1 a.m. on Jan. 20, 2021, the final day of Trump's presidency, Trump issued an executive order to revoke the executive order he signed in 2017. That order reads in part: The Associated Press reported: This was not the first time an executive order has been revoked. Sitting presidents frequently revoke the executive orders signed by their predecessors. However, presidents have rarely revoked their their own executive orders. (en)
