President-elect Donald Trump executive orders are likely to be signed after he is sworn in at the US Capitol on Monday and then others later in the evening at Capital One Arena, where the inaugural parade and entertainment will be held due to cold weather in Washington, sources told ABC News on Sunday.
Separately, senior Trump officials told ABC News that he is preparing to take more than 200 executive actions on his first day in office.
Trump’s advisers expect him to sign multiple executive actions at once under what they call an “omnibus” executive action.
Essentially, several actions would be bundled into one document for Trump to sign, eliminating the need to sign dozens of documents individually.
Trump told his supporters at a rally on Sunday: “You’re going to see executive orders that will make you very happy. Many, many. We need to set our country on the right path.”

A small group of Republicans was briefed by Trump on Sunday evening at the White House entrance to Stephen Miller Policy.
Sources noted that plans were ongoing and still being finalized, but that Miller outlined various executive actions and statements to the group.
