Just think how much the Dems would Love Spence.
I think you mean Pence.

Yes and as the polls indicate
That and didn't a whole slew of polls predict Hillary favored to win the election?
Care to back that up with *anything*? The press likes to use this yardstick but it's simply not true. The one who created the concept was FDR, but even he was referring to the first 100 days that CONGRESS was in session. And that year, it started later.
Umm, no, it's completed, no thanks to an obscene foot dragging by the Senate. I don't know where you got this information.
It didn't take a long time because he had no nominees - but it's the Senate's fault, notably, Democrats fighting it. THAT is a joke.
Well, if you and your fellow leapfrogs (that want socialism/communism) would get out of his way, maybe he could accomplish something. Which he has, despite your road blocks; pun intended. And, what is it about people like you that don't want America to be great? I don't get it. Is it a chip, is it a personal problem, is it that y'all want socialism/communism? Most Americans with a brain know Obama was a plant that didn't grow. If you believe he was an American citizen then you are more ignorant than I thought. I am at a loss why you are fighting against the Founding Father's terms for America. The takeaway that I get from people like you is that you don't believe in America. Too bad for you.

Please look at what other Presidents have done in their first 100 days with or without CONGRESS which is firmly Republican at the moment and you will see Trump has accomplished very little in comparison.

It was late I meant he has yet to fill 60% of Executve branch vacancies.
No you didn't.
Thanks for your interesting well thought out response Gillian
Yes but that's because, at that time, the presidential inauguration occurred on March 4th so yes the congressional session would've started later.
The GOP controls the senate.
And you are correct. Sorry. It was late I meant he has yet to fill 60% of Executve branch vacancies.
But the approval process doesn't just sit on the whole Senate vote; otherwise it would be done in minutes rather than months.
And that is actually not uncommon. Would there was a better process to fill those seats - coming from someone who works for a federal agency that often goes without someone at the top.
“There’s no question this is the slowest transition in decades,” said R. Nicholas Burns, a former State Department official who served under presidents of both parties and has been involved in transitions since 1988. “It is a very, very big mistake. The world continues — it doesn’t respect transitions.”
It's actually not that common to have this many vacancies at this stage.

But Congress only started late THAT YEAR. Nevertheless, it means the FDR team had almost two more months to prepare.
.as the moron then references a story that is over three months old..
and not much has been done since
