Plain-language summary
Amends Executive Order 12137 to delegate to the Director of the Peace Corps the authority to adopt, alter, and use an official seal or emblem of the Peace Corps, a power granted under section 19 of the Peace Corps Act. It adds this delegation as a new section within the earlier order and also deletes an existing provision, section 1-301(e), from that order. The order states it does not affect existing legal authority of federal agencies or the budgetary and legislative functions of the Office of Management and Budget, and that it creates no enforceable rights against the United States or its officials.
Not written or reviewed by a person. Read the full order below for anything you intend to rely on.

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

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.
