Every executive order as it appears in the Federal Register, newest first, with its order number, signing date, publication date, and a link to the official text at federalregister.gov.
Executive orders are directives to the federal executive branch that carry the force of law within it. They are numbered continuously across administrations and take effect on publication unless the order says otherwise.
Signed date versus published date
An order is signed first and published in the Federal Register shortly afterward, usually within a few days. Both dates appear here because they differ and each matters: the signing date is when the President acted, while the publication date is typically what governs when the order takes legal effect.
What an executive order can and cannot do
Executive orders direct federal agencies and officials in how they carry out existing law and constitutional authority. They cannot create new law on their own, cannot appropriate money, and can be revoked by a later President, blocked by the courts, or superseded by legislation. That is why orders are frequently reversed shortly after an administration changes.
Reading the official text
Every entry links to the full order on federalregister.gov, the official publication of the National Archives. News coverage summarizes and interprets orders; the Federal Register text is the authoritative version, and it is worth reading directly when the details matter.

Executive Order Tracker — Frequently Asked Questions
- What is an executive order?
- An executive order is a signed, written directive from the President to the federal executive branch. It carries the force of law within the executive branch but cannot create new legislation, appropriate funds, or override an act of Congress.
- When does an executive order take effect?
- Most executive orders take effect when published in the Federal Register, which usually happens within a few days of signing, unless the order specifies a different effective date.
- Can an executive order be overturned?
- Yes. A later President can revoke or amend it, federal courts can block it as unlawful or unconstitutional, and Congress can pass legislation that supersedes it — though the President may veto such a bill.
- Where can I read the official text of an executive order?
- On federalregister.gov, published by the Office of the Federal Register at the National Archives. Every order listed here links directly to its official text.
