Presidential directives

Presidential directives are official documents issued by the President of the United States that communicate policies, directives, or instructions to government agencies. They can take various forms, such as executive orders, presidential memoranda, or national security directives. These directives help set priorities, manage government operations, and implement legislation. While they carry significant authority and are legally binding, they can be reversed or modified by subsequent presidents. Essentially, they serve as a tool for the president to carry out their agenda and ensure that federal departments align with their policy goals.
