As of July 2, 2025, PresidentDonald Trump (R) had signed 166executive orders, 44memoranda, and 71proclamations in hissecond presidential term, which began on January 20, 2025.
Each type of presidential document is different in authority and implementation. Executive orders are directives the president writes to officials within the executive branch requiring them to take or stop some action related to policy or management. They are numbered, published in theFederal Register, cite the authority by which the president is making the order, and the Office of Management and Budget issues budgetary impact analyses for each order.[1][2]
Presidential memoranda and notices also include instructions directed at executive officials, but they are neither numbered nor have the same publication requirements. TheOffice of Management and Budget is also not required to issue a budgetary impact statement on the subject of the memoranda or notices.[3][4]
In his 2014 book,By Order of the President: The Use and Abuse of Executive Direct Action, Phillip J. Cooper, a professor of public administration at Portland State University, wrote, "As a practical matter, the memorandum is now being used as the equivalent of an executive order, but without meeting the legal requirements for an executive order."[5]
Proclamations are a third type of executive directive that typically relate to private individuals or ceremonial events, such as holidays and commemorations.[3][6]
