Editing Executive order (section)

== Basis in the United States Constitution ==
The [[United States Constitution]] does not have a provision that explicitly permits the use of executive orders. [[Article Two of the United States Constitution|Article{{spaces}}II]], Section{{spaces}}1, [[Article Two of the United States Constitution#Clause 1: Executive power and term of office|Clause{{spaces}}1]] of the Constitution simply states: "The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America." Sections{{spaces}}2 and{{spaces}}3 describe the various powers and duties of the president, including "He shall take care that the Laws be faithfully executed".<ref>[[SCOTUS]], ''[[Myers v.

Attempts to block such orders have been successful at times, when such orders either exceeded the authority of the president or could be better handled through legislation.<ref name="Association1971">{{cite journal|last=Wozencraft|first=Frank M.|title=OLC: the Unfamiliar Acronym|journal=American Bar Association Journal|volume=57|year=1971|issue=January|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=E-3OrbDw5o8C&pg=PA35|page=33 at 35|issn=0747-0088}}</ref>

The [[Office of the Federal Register]] is responsible for assigning the executive order a sequential number, after receipt of the signed original from the White House and printing the text of the executive order in the daily ''[[Federal Register]]'' and eventually in [[Title 3 of the Code of Federal Regulations|Title{{spaces}}3 of the ''Code of Federal Regulations'']].<ref>{{Cite web|url = https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/executive-orders/|title = Executive Orders|date = August 15, 2016|website =archives.gov |publisher = [[Office of the Federal Register]] |author = President of the United States|author-link = President of the United States}}{{NARA}}</ref>
