Questions
Presidents have used Executive Orders (EO’s) to justify military strikes, bar the use of
federal funds to advocate abortions, stop deportations of undocumented people, and raise federal
minimum wages for contractors. Executive Order 9066 created Japanese internment camps
where US citizens were rounded up and placed in camps where they were not free to leave. The
constitution’s silence on this matter has given presidents the authority to sign EO’s on a broad
array of topics.

1. In light of this silence, do you believe presidents should be granted such broad authority to institute EO’s that essentially serve to create new laws? Do you
believe presidents are properly interpreting their powers or are they usurping
Congress’s powers?

2. Based in part on your discussion in question 1, if you were president, what Executive Order would you sign? – You can choose to create your own EO or
justify a previous one. Summarize what the EO would do (or did if choosing
past EO), why you believe it is necessary for our country, and why you believe
the constitution grants you the authority.
