There's considerable controversy concerning President Trump's use of executive orders.  Here's a report from the Christian Science Monitor comparing his record to that of his predecessor:

President Donald Trump issued six executive orders in his first week in office.  That would average out to 312 executive orders in his first year in office if he keeps up this pace.  To contrast, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt issued 573 executive orders in 1933.
