The Largest Collection of Executive Orders on the Internet |
|
Presidential Executive Orders and Proclamations are legal documents and unconstitutionally held to have the same effect as laws. The Constitution grants legislative powers only to Congress, and Congress and the courts have never reclaimed these powers. Executive Orders are authorized by the President's statutory or Constitutional powers, however a great many Executive Orders violate the Constitution by usurping legislative powers granted only to Congress. "Stroke of the pen, law of the land. Pretty cool" (Paul Begala, advisor to President Clinton).
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.
