What is a presidential decree?
This is a decision that the President of the United States can make alone, without the approval of Congress. It applies during his term of office unless Congress passes a law to overturn the executive order. Courts can also uphold these executive orders to continue beyond the current term, or overturn them if they determine that the president has exceeded his constitutional powers.
-In addition to executive orders, a president can issue memoranda and proclamations. The day he took office, Donald Trump signed a total of more than 200 “presidential measures,” according to a White House publication on X.
These include the presidential proclamation, an official statement by the president that can be symbolic or have immediate legal effects. For example, Donald Trump declared a state of emergency on the southern border, which allowed him to deploy the military and continue construction of the border wall. He also granted amnesty to the Capitol rioters and ordered their immediate release and the dropping of ongoing charges.
Another tool at his disposal is presidential memorandums, which are a directive to federal agencies. This is how Donald Trump froze hiring and imposed the end of teleworking in the public service, suspended all new offshore wind production permits and rejected the global tax agreement of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development ( OECD).
