Legal standing
This space holds court challenges, injunctions and rulings tied to this order, each linked to the court record it comes from. It is empty on every order: an empty panel means this site publishes nothing here, not that nothing has happened to the order.
Nothing appears in this space without a citation to a court action. A ruling on a comparable order is shown as precedent — the record of what a court did there, not a signal about this order. An order with no court action of its own 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 reflect the appropriate allocation of funding responsibilities for Noncombatant Evacuation Operations, 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 12656, November 18, 1988 Note: This Executive order is concerned with force deployment with respect to evacuation of U.S. citizens in threatened areas overseas.
Compiled after the fact by the National Archives, so recent orders often have none yet. An empty disposition means no record, not no activity.
