Presidents of the United States

The Compilation of Presidential Documents collection consists of the Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents and the Daily Compilation of Presidential Documents which are the official publications of materials released by the White House Press Secretary. It is published by the Office of the Federal Register, National Archives and Records Administration (NARA)

An executive order is a signed, written, and published directive from the President of the United States that manages operations of the federal government. Executive orders are published in the Federal Register, the daily journal of the federal government that is published to inform the public about federal regulations and actions.

This page contains executive orders, proclamations, memoranda, notices, determinations, letters, and messages that have been published in the Federal Register. Because the White House cannot deliver a document to the Office of the Federal Register (OFR) until after the President signs a document, there is always a delay (of at least one day, typically of several days) between when the President signs a document and when it is published. If you are looking for a recently-signed Presidential document, you may wish to check the White House website.

The American Presidency Project, hosted at the University of California, Santa Barbara, provides online access to the following:
• The Messages and Papers of the Presidents: Washington - Taft (1789-1913)
• The Public Papers of the Presidents: Hoover to Obama (1929-2012)
• The Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents: Carter - G.W. Bush (1977-2009)
• The Daily Compilation of Presidential Documents: Obama-Trump (2009-2017)

This is the official website of the Executive Office of the President of the United States.

White House websites are Presidential records. The National Archives provides "frozen in time" White House websites as representations of the original websites for easy access by the public. These websites are no longer updated so links to external websites and some internal pages will not work.

The Office of the Federal Register (OFR) began publishing the Public Papers of the Presidents series in 1957 as an official publication of United States Presidents' public writings, addresses, and remarks.

C-SPAN is a public service created by the American cable television industry to provide C-SPAN's audience access to the live proceedings of the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate, and to other forums where public policy is discussed, debated and decided––all without editing, commentary or analysis and with a balanced presentation of points of view.

Presidential Libraries and Museums are repositories for the papers, records and historical materials of the Presidents.

This chronological list contains entries for each president with his corresponding first lady and vice president.
