Understanding Executive Orders

Executive orders are presidential directives that manage operations of the federal government. They have the force of law but can be overturned by Congress or subsequent presidents. This power is not absolute and faces judicial review. While often used to clarify existing laws, executive orders can also advance new policies, particularly during periods of Congressional gridlock. Other forms of presidential directives include proclamations (ceremonial or broad policy announcements) and memoranda (specific, often less formal, instructions to agencies).
