Presidential Memorandum

A Presidential Memorandum is a formal written instruction issued by the President of the United States to manage or direct government agencies and departments. It serves to communicate priorities, directives, or policies without the need for a legislative process like a law. These memoranda help implement the President’s agenda efficiently and can cover a wide range of issues, from administrative procedures to national programs. They are official documents that influence how government functions and can be publicly announced or kept internal within the executive branch.
