Claimed authority

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, 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

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