First 100 days of Donald Trump's presidency
The first 100 days of Donald Trump's presidency are scheduled to begin with his inauguration on January 20, 2017, as the 45th President of the United States with Mike Pence as Vice President; the 100th day of his presidency will be April 29, 2017. The first 100 days of a presidential term took on symbolic significance during Franklin D. Roosevelt's administration, and the period is considered a benchmark to measure the early success of a president. Before the end of the election, Trump initially announced his 100-day plan in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.[1][2]
Trump's first presidential appointment named Stephen Bannon as his "senior counselor and chief West Wing strategist" and Reince Priebus as Chief of Staff, with Bannon given "top billing in the official announcement", which described the pair as "as equal partners to transform the federal government."[3]

Trump has pledged to do the following in his first 100 days:[4]
- appoint judges "who will uphold the Constitution" and "defend the Second Amendment"
- construct a wall on the southern U.S. border and limit immigration "to give unemployed Americans an opportunity to fill good-paying jobs"
- re-assess trade agreements with other nations and "crack down" on companies "that send jobs overseas"
- repeal and replace the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (commonly called the Affordable Care Act or Obamacare)
- remove federal restrictions on energy production
- push for an amendment to the United States Constitution imposing term limits on Congress[5][6]
Affordable Care Act
Despite campaign promises to repeal the Affordable Care Act in full, Trump later stated that he favors keeping at least two of its provisions: (1) patients' existing conditions, and (2) additional coverage for young adults on their parents' insurance policies.[7]
