What happened
By day 55, nine of the ten named bills had not been introduced: the Middle Class Tax Relief and Simplification Act, End the Offshoring Act, American Energy and Infrastructure Act, School Choice and Education Opportunity Act, Affordable Childcare and Eldercare Act, End Illegal Immigration Act, Restoring Community Safety Act, Restoring National Security Act and Clean Up Corruption in Washington Act. Only a repeal-and-replace bill was introduced, and it did not pass. By April 2017 Trump called the 100-day benchmark a "ridiculous standard."
