Presidential Executive Orders

Presidential executive orders are official directives issued by the President of the United States to manage the federal government and carry out laws. They function like instructions or commands that set policies, direct government agencies, or clarify how laws should be implemented. While they don’t create new laws, they have the force of law within the executive branch, provided they are consistent with existing laws and the Constitution. Executive orders help the President efficiently administer government functions and respond to current issues without needing new legislation from Congress.
