A widely accepted description of executive orders and proclamations comes from a report issued
in 1957 by the House Government Operations Committee:
Executive orders and proclamations are directives or actions by the President. When they are
founded on the authority of the President derived from the Constitution or statute, they may
have the force and effect of law.... In the narrower sense Executive orders and proclamations
are written documents denominated as such.... Executive orders are generally directed to, and
govern actions by, Government officials and agencies. They usually affect private
individuals only indirectly. Proclamations in most instances affect primarily the activities of
private individuals. Since the President has no power or authority over individual citizens
and their rights except where he is granted such power and authority by a provision in the
Constitution or by statute, the President’s proclamations are not legally binding and are at
best hortatory unless based on such grants of authority.
