For quick access to Presidential Executive orders (E.O.) we have a new feature — a table of E.O.s under the “Browse” tab. We also beefed up the tools for Presidential documents in Advanced Search. You can search by President and by document sub-type.

At the same time, we are adding E.O. material to Data.gov so that developers and researchers can more easily find Executive orders, in addition to using the full Federal Register bulk data set on FDsys.

Our E.O. tables are a work in progress. We will be adding information to help you track the trail of amendments to E.O.s, past and present.
