Date of last update - 13 Jul 2002 This list contains a directory of collected executive orders issued by the President of the United States. If you have knowledge of other orders with full text please contact the author of this list. ============================================================================= Presidential proclamations and executive orders are legal documents and have the same effect as laws. Executive orders are authorized by the President's statutory or constitutional powers. Proclamations are issued by virtue of the President's office, by law, or in response to congressional joint resolutions. Although there is no legal difference between the two documents, most proclamations address the general public while executive orders are generally used to direct government agencies or officials. Both executive orders and Presidential proclamations are published in the following documents: Federal Register, 1936-U.S. National Archives and Records Administration.
