238 executive orders in one year: 2025 exceeded the previous four years combined, and 2.6× the Federal Register's electronic-record high

The Federal Register logged 238 executive orders signed in calendar 2025 — against a 1994–2024 range of 19 to 91 (median 38). The count is re-derivable two independent ways: a facet query returns 225 orders signed after Inauguration Day, and the sequential order numbers 14147 through 14371 span exactly 225.
