EXECUTIVE ORDER

An executive order, also known as a proclamation, is a directive handed down directly from a president or governor (the executive branch of government) without input from the legislative or judicial branches. . They are usually used to direct certain tasks or actions to Cabinet members and other
executive officers. Some executive orders even have the force of law when permissions are given by the Senate or House of Representatives. Executive orders can only be given to federal or state agencies, not

to citizens, although citizens are indirectly affected by them.
