Two spans, side by side · per-year rates
Biden vs Trump II

Each span is its own CivicDiff comparison (click a span above for the full diff). "n/a" means the data doesn't cover that span: full law counts begin in 1973, executive orders and rules in 1994, nominations in 1981. Spending and troop changes are over the whole span, not per year.
