Thanks for posting Slick's E.O. 12949.

Jimma had a similar E.O. but not sure the number.

Do E.O.s expire at the end of the executing president's term?

Do E.O.s expire at the end of the executing president's term? Not unless specifically outlined in the order. An executive order is as legally binding as a law passed by congress per Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution which grants to the President the "executive Power." Section 3 of Article II further directs the President to "take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed." To implement or execute the laws of the land, Presidents give direction and guidance to Executive Branch agencies and departments, often in the form of Executive Orders.
