Clarifies that nothing in the order affects existing legal authority of agencies or their heads, or the budgetary and administrative functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, and states that it creates no enforceable rights against the federal government.

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.

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.
