After less than 48 hours in power, the Biden administration is already engendering controversy.

Since assuming the presidency, Biden has gotten his term started with a slew of executive orders. Some of these executive orders include mask mandates for interstate travel and on federal properties (although since signing these orders, the 46th president himself has been maskless on federal properties multiple times).
