Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) announced Thursday that he will introduce legislation to codify President Donald J. Trump’s America First Executive Orders into law, delivering what grassroots conservatives have long demanded: permanent protections against future leftist rollbacks.
“Today, I am announcing that I will be introducing legislation to codify [Donald Trump] Executive Orders,” Burchett announced on X.
“It is past time for Congress to take action, so I am taking charge to ensure we implement President Trump’s agenda.”
According to the press release:
Today, U.S. Congressman Tim Burchett announced that he will be introducing legislation to codify President Trump’s Executive Orders. Since his inauguration, President Trump has slashed regulatory red tape, prioritized fiscal conservatism, and effectively closed the Southern Border.
“President Trump has done his part in acting on the mandate from the American people. It’s past time for Congress to take action,” said Representative Burchett.
“I am taking charge to ensure Congress carries out President Trump’s agenda. Thats why I’ll be introducing a series of single-issue bills to support the President and Congressional Republicans’ promise to the American people.”
The first series of bills will enforce DOGE cuts, slash harmful red tape, eliminate foreign influence in our schools, and unleash American energy.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Today, I am announcing that I will be introducing legislation to codify @realDonaldTrump Executive Orders.
It is past time for Congress to take action, so I am taking charge to ensure we implement President Trump’s agenda.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that 17 House Republicans—led by Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN)—have issued a fiery letter demanding that Speaker Mike Johnson stop playing politics and start delivering results by codifying President Trump’s executive orders into law.
The letter obtained by Breitbart is a scathing indictment of Speaker Johnson’s lack of urgency.
It warns that President Trump’s transformative agenda, launched the moment he returned to office on January 20, is in danger of being wiped away by a future Democrat president unless Congress acts decisively.
“But let’s be clear: unless Congress acts, many of these victories are at risk. A future Democrat president could erase them with the stroke of a pen. We cannot let that happen. If we want this new era of American greatness to last, we must codify the President’s actions into law,” the letter warns bluntly.
According to political commentator Amuse, the current GOP-controlled Congress sent fewer bills to President Trump to sign into law than any Congress in 70 years.
