Legal standing
Not yet published. Court challenges, injunctions and rulings tied to individual orders will appear here once each can be linked to its source record.
Nothing appears in this space without a citation to a court action or a cited precedent. An order with no such record is described as untested, never as likely or unlikely to survive.
Claimed authority
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and laws of the United States of America, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), the National Emergencies Act (“NEA”) (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), section 5 of the United Nations Participation Act of 1945, as amended (22 U.S.C. 287c), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code, and taking into consideration United Nations Security Council Resolution 944 of September 29, 1994
Quoted from the order as written. Many orders cite nothing more specific than “the Constitution and the laws”; this reproduces what the order claims, not an assessment of whether it holds.
Disposition
Revokes: EO 12775, October 4, 1991; EO 12779, October 28, 1991; EO 12853, June 30, 1993; EO 12872, October 18, 1993; EO 12914, May 7, 1994; EO 12917, May 21, 1994; EO 12920, June 10, 1994; EO 12922, June 21, 1994
Compiled after the fact by the National Archives, so recent orders often have none yet. An empty disposition means no record, not no activity.
