On a clock

The First 100 Days

Not a vibe — a sprint plan. Each phase below lists the departments on point and the specific deliverables each one owns, from the executive orders we sign on Day One to a signed, public scoreboard on Day 100. Tap any department to see its full job and team.

Before Day One — the transition

A president-elect has the ~11 weeks between the election and Inauguration Day to name the cabinet and start Senate confirmations. We'd announce picks early and move fast — but only a handful of posts (the national-security and economic core) are usually confirmed on or within days of Day One, by a simple-majority Senate vote. The rest run under experienced acting leadership until the Senate confirms them: most within the first several weeks, with the full cabinet typically seated in one to three months. So where an early task names a secretary who isn't confirmed yet, read it as the department — under its acting head — carrying out the President's directive.

Day 100: the public scoreboard

At 100 days we publish a signed, public scorecard — every deliverable above marked done, in progress, or blocked, with the reason. No spin. You can check our work on GovTracker and the live debt page any day you like.
