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 the laws of the United States of America, and in order to extend the term of the National Bioethics Advisory Commission, it is hereby ordered

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

Amends: EO 12975, October 3, 1995 See: EO 13316, September 17, 2003

Compiled after the fact by the National Archives, so recent orders often have none yet. An empty disposition means no record, not no activity.
