evidence: There is no evidence to suggest President Biden has used executive action more than other presidents. Biden had issued 139 executive orders as of July 1. [...] Biden did use executive action at a significantly higher rate than other presidents in his first few days in office, largely a response to the COVID-19 pandemic. But Trump had issued more orders by this time in his presidency — with 169 from Jan. 20, 2017, to July 1, 2020, compared with Biden’s 139, according to a PolitiFact analysis of data provided by the American Presidency Project, a nonprofit source for presidential documents hosted by the University of California, Santa Barbara. [...] This could encourage future presidents to take more executive action than Biden or Trump has.
