Executive Orders

1955 Dwight D. Eisenhower Executive Orders view all Presidential Documents

In 1955, Dwight D. Eisenhower signed 65 Executive orders (from EO 10585 through EO 10649).

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 65 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.
