Retraction in science. In science, a retraction of a published scientific article indicates that the original article should not have been published and that its data and conclusions should not be used as part of the foundation for future research.
According to the database, Obama has issued 139 executive orders so far. In a comparable amount of time in their presidencies, President George W.

Barack Obama signed more executive actions in his first 12 days than Donald Trump. United States president Donald Trump signed 18 executive orders and memos in his first 12 days in office, for an average of 1.5 executive actions per day. While that may seem like an unprecedented bombardment of policy, the number of actions signed by Trump is actually one short of his predecessor.
