President Joe Biden (D) issued no executive orders in August, keeping his total at 141.

This was the fifth month of his presidency where he issued no executive orders. The other four instances took place in November 2022, January 2023, January 2024, and May 2024.

Biden issued 25 executive orders in January 2021, more than any other month of his presidency.

Biden has issued an average of 40 executive orders per year in office, the third-lowest average among the seven presidents who have held office since 1981. Donald Trump (R) averaged 55 executive orders per year, the most in that time. Barack Obama (D) averaged 35 per year, the fewest in that time.

Franklin D. Roosevelt (D) issued 307 executive orders per year on average, the most of all U.S. presidents. William Henry Harrison (Whig) averaged the fewest, issuing none during his one month in office. Three presidents issued only one executive order each: James Madison (Democratic-Republican), James Monroe (Democratic-Republican), and John Adams (Federalist).
