Executive orders allow U.S. presidents to manage federal operations without Congress' approval.
Executive orders are directives issued by U.S. presidents to manage federal operations without needing Congress' approval.
They hold the "force of law" when based on constitutional authority.
All presidents have utilized them, with Franklin D. Roosevelt issuing the most (3,721).
While they can effect significant policy changes, their impact may be limited as Congress can cut funding and future presidents can amend or rescind them.
Modern presidents average 30-40 orders annually.
