Executive Orders (Beginning with J.Q. Adams )

Special note: On our summary page, we explain that our collection of executive order texts is nearly complete beginning with the administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt. As of 2025, the APP collection extends far beyond the official presidential compilations (Messages and Papers of the Presidents, and Public Papers of the Presidents of the United States). The archives of the American Presidency Project continues to grow as we obtain and digitize original texts. See Executive Order counts per term.
