I hope on day one Biden passes an EO to waive all of the Trump admin NDAs. It's ridiculous that Trump forced people to sign them and we deserve transparency.

---

I don't think that would be legally binding, would it??

These are NDAs signed by the federal government, so Biden can certainly terminate the obligations owed by any staffers forced to sign them. I believe there is an open question as to whether they are binding at all to begin with.

Biden can't do anything about Trump's private NDAs but I'm not talking about those.

The new president planned to sign the orders just hours after taking the oath of office at the Capitol, pivoting quickly from his pared-down inauguration ceremony to enacting his agenda. With the stroke of a pen, Biden intends to halt construction on Trump's U.S.-Mexico border wall, end the ban on travel from some Muslim-majority countries, rejoin the Paris Climate Accord and the World Health Organization and revoke the approval of the Keystone XL oil pipeline, aides said.

The 15 executive actions amount to an attempt to rewind the last four years of federal policies with striking speed. Only two recent presidents signed executive actions on their first day in office and each signed just one. But Biden, facing the debilitating coronavirus pandemic, a damaged economy and a riven electorate, is intent on demonstrating a sense of urgency and competence that he argues has been missing under his Republican predecessor.

"We'll press forward with speed and urgency, for we have much to do in this winter of peril and significant possibilities much to repair, much to restore, much to heal, much to build and much to gain," Biden, a Democrat, said in his inaugural address.

Reagan could really turn a phrase and persuade people. Unfortunately, he sold the idea that the only way to deal with a government that seemed bloated and inefficient was to dismantle it, rather than putting in the hard work to improve it. Streamline it, sure. Blow it up, probably not.

The purpose of government is to make people's lives better. If it is not doing the job, fix it.
