Abstract

The article focuses on the nature and function of executive orders (EOs) in the United States, detailing their significance as directives issued by the president. An executive order is a written, signed, and published mandate that requires compliance from the executive branch, which includes the president, vice president, and various executive departments. Unlike laws, executive orders do not need Congressional approval and can only be overturned by a sitting president. The article also notes that there have been 14,146 executive orders issued since 1862, with each order numbered and dated, outlining its purpose and the responsible departments for implementation.
