Where these records come from
Official sources
- Federal Register presidential documents
- Federal Register executive order disposition tables
- National Archives executive orders disposition tables
- GovInfo Compilation of Presidential Documents
Numbers above count the records on file at Vote Files, not the total a president issued. Later amendments, revocations and supersessions appear only where the National Archives or Federal Register disposition tables state them, in their words. Orders before 1937 come from the American Presidency Project where no government digital record exists.
