The Republican-controlled Congress has reached a shameful low, sending fewer bills to President Donald Trump’s desk than any Congress in seven decades.

While Trump storms ahead, wielding a jaw-dropping 147 executive orders in just five months to restore America’s greatness, the GOP-led House and Senate are stuck in neutral, paralyzed by infighting, cowardice, and incompetence.

This legislative drought—confirmed by TIME and NBC News analyses—marks a historic failure for a party that promised action but delivers only excuses.

Since Trump’s January 2025 return to the White House, he’s been a one-man policy machine, issuing executive orders at a record-shattering pace to secure the border, slash federal bloat, and dismantle Biden’s disastrous legacy.

From banning "gender ideology" in schools to imposing tariffs on China, Trump’s pen is recovering and rewriting America’s future.

Meanwhile, the 119th Congress, under Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, has mustered a pathetic six bills for Trump’s signature, five of which became law—the lowest tally since the Eisenhower era.

Compare that to Trump’s first term, when he signed 30 bills in his first 100 days, or even Biden’s 10 in 2021.

The contrast is stark: Trump’s relentless drive to "Make America Great Again" versus a GOP Congress that can’t get out of its own way.

Only three Congressional Review Act resolutions, the Laken Riley Act (a strict immigration measure), and a stopgap funding bill to avoid a shutdown have made it to Trump’s desk.

A sixth bill, the "Take It Down Act" targeting nonconsensual explicit images, awaits the president's signature.

As Punch Bowl News reports:

By this point in 2017, Trump had signed 24 bills into law.

By this point in Biden’s presidency, he’d signed seven bills into law.

In 2009, Barack Obama had signed 11 bills into law by now.

In 2001, George W. Bush had signed seven bills into law.

In 1993, Bill Clinton had signed 21 bills into law.

At this point in 1989, George H.W. Bush had signed 13 bills into law.

In 1981, Ronald Reagan had signed nine bills into law by now.

Jimmy Carter had signed 19 bills into law by now in 1977.

Richard Nixon had signed eight bills into law by this time in 1969.

John F. Kennedy signed 20 bills into law by the end of March 1961.

Dwight D. Eisenhower had also signed 20 bills into law by this time in 1953.

This trickle of legislation is a far cry from the "big, beautiful bill" Trump has demanded to codify his agenda.

But the GOP’s failures go deeper than just 2025.

Over the past four years, this Congress has been a masterclass in spinelessness.

They failed to impeach Joe Biden — arguably the worst president in U.S. history — despite his administration’s border chaos, inflation spiral, and deadly COVID mandate madness.

Republicans stood idly by as Biden’s DOJ weaponized the justice system against journalists, parents at school board meetings, and January 6 defendants, tried across the street from the Capitol at the E. Barrett Prettyman Courthouse, where Trump himself faced politicized trials.

Not one meaningful effort has been made to free the J6ers or expose the truth — even to this day. And the J6 footage? Still locked away, stonewalled by the very party that controls the gavel.

Let’s not forget the GOP’s other flops: no serious push to defund the FBI’s sprawling new headquarters, no rollback of Big Tech censorship, and no real challenge to the woke bureaucracy that’s choking federal agencies.

While Trump battles billionaire elites and globalist agendas, Congress squabbles over budget resolutions and frets about "moderate" voters.

Even their much-hyped budget reconciliation process—meant to deliver Trump’s tax cuts and border security—crawls along, bogged down by fiscal hawks and RINOs bickering over Medicaid cuts.

While Trump moves at warp speed, Congress sputters along like a broken jalopy, running on the fumes of empty promises.

So, Speaker Johnson, here’s a tip: stop talking, start legislating, or get out of the way. America’s waiting — and Trump isn’t slowing down for anyone.
