【 摘 要 】

This report reviews the "definition" of an executive order and how it is distinguishable from other written instruments, and then provides an overview of the President's constitutional authority to issue such directives. It also discusses the legal framework relied on by the courts to analyze the validity of presidential actions, and the roles of the President and Congress in modifying and revoking executive orders.
