Executive Orders

2010 Barack Obama Executive Orders view all Presidential Documents

In 2010, Barack Obama signed 35 Executive orders (from EO 13528 through EO 13562).

This page contains documents that have been published in the Federal Register.* Because the White House cannot deliver a document to the Office of the Federal Register (OFR) until after the President signs a document, there is always a delay (of at least one day, typically of several days) between when the President signs a document and when it is published. Once received, OFR gives presidential documents priority processing and documents will appear on public inspection the business day before publication.

These 35 Executive orders can be downloaded in CSV/Excel and JSON formats. More information about our APIs and other developer tools can be found on our developer pages.

Executive Order Disposition Tables

Disposition Tables contain information about Presidential Documents beginning with those signed by Franklin D. Roosevelt and are arranged according to Presidential administration and year of signature. The tables are compiled and maintained by the Office of the Federal Register editors.
