Speaker Mike Johnson@SpeakerJohnsonNov 10, 2026The sources do not record how many executive orders were codified into law, so the ~130 figure cannot be graded. The Federal Register reports 292 executive orders signed by Trump in 2025-2026, a different measure that neither confirms nor refutes a codified subset of about 130.

… Yet a million jobs added in the private sector just in the last 19 months or so. And it goes on and on and on. Trump accounts. For every newborn, you have the first ever nationwide school choice program codified into law. Over 100 and nearly, I think, 130 executive orders codified and signed into law and so much more. And so we're going to double down on the things that worked.

Speaker Mike Johnson@SpeakerJohnson · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Context. The Federal Register lists 292 executive orders signed by Donald J. Trump between 2025 and 2026, with EO 14372 to EO 14438 in 2026 and EO 14147 to EO 14371 in 2025.[4]
Context. The Legal Information Institute explains that executive orders take effect without congressional action and are published in the Federal Register, so they are not codified or signed into law in the sense the claim uses.[5]
Context. No source counts executive orders that were codified into law or gives a figure near 130 for that measure, so the central assertion is not addressed either way.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
Context. The extraction matches the passage: the speaker said 'Over 100 and nearly, I think, 130 executive orders codified and signed into law,' so the claim's approximately-130 figure is a faithful paraphrase of the post, which itself hedges the number.
