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 the laws of the United States of America, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) (NEA), section 5 of the United Nations Participation Act, as amended (22 U.S.C. 287c) (UNPA), sections 504 and 505 of the International Security and Development Cooperation Act (22 U.S.C. 2349aa-8 and 2349aa-9), section 40106 of title 49, United States Code, and section 301 of title 3, United States Code
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 12538, November 15, 1985; EO 12543, January 7, 1986; EO 12544, January 8, 1986; EO 12801, April 15, 1992
Compiled after the fact by the National Archives, so recent orders often have none yet. An empty disposition means no record, not no activity.

I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of
America, find that the situation that gave rise to the
declaration of a national emergency in Executive Order
12543 of January 7, 1986, with respect to the policies
and actions of the Government of Libya, and that led to
the steps taken in that order and in Executive Order
12544 of January 8, 1986, and Executive Order 12801 of
April 15, 1992, has been significantly altered by
Libya's commitments and actions to eliminate its
weapons of mass destruction programs and its Missile
Technology Control Regime (MTCR) -class missiles, and
by other developments. Accordingly, I hereby terminate
the national emergency declared in Executive Order
12543, and revoke that Executive Order, Executive Order
12544, and Executive Order 12801. I also hereby revoke
Executive Order 12538 of November 15, 1985, and further
order:

any act committed prior to such date, or any rights or
duties that matured or penalties that were incurred
prior to such date.
Sec. 2. This order is not intended to, and does not,
create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural,

Sec. 3. (a) This order is effective at 12:01 a.m.
eastern daylight time on September 21, 2004.
