Count of Executive Orders per presidential term USA

Using data from The American Presidency Project and the Federal Register two graphs on the number of executive orders per presidential term in the USA, post WWII.

First one shows the count per term per day since the start of the term. This means some lines stop earlier than others because they either concern not finishing the term (Kennedy, Nixon) or vice-presidents taking over the presidency (Johnson, Ford).

Truman has been excluded in this overview to make it readable.

Graph with count of signed executive orders per presidential term as function of days in office, for presidents since Eisenhower.
Lowest line is GW Bush 2 ending at 118.
Highest so far is Carter with 320.
But the current term for Trump (only 221 days so far) jumps out because of the steep upward curve to now already 198.

Europol terrorism data

Each year Europol publishes a report on terrorism in the EU. We’ve gathered the data from all years available and created several graphs based on it.

Please not that in these graphs we have exclude the UK now, even for the years that they were still in the EU. this was done to make the data a bit more comparable over the years shown.

First a graph with a count of all attacks per year, split per cause (stacked bar chart).

Graph showing number of terrorism attacks in the EU since 2006, per cause.
Total number declined from almost 600 in 2007 to 28 last year.
Up to 2015 most attacks came from seperatists and ethno-nationalists.
After that year left wing and jihadists are major contributors. Except in 2021 (No left wing).
The UK is excluded from this data, even for the years they still were member of the EU.
2023 saw a sudden rise to 120 attacks, after 4 years with less than 50.
2024 saw a decline again to 58, with mainly jihadist and left-wing/anarchist attacks.
