Today, there are at least 113 federal regulatory agencies passing laws they call -- with a wink and a nod -- rules and regulations.

Add to that list Executive Orders. In 1905 the State department ordered all federal offices to surrender the orders which had accumulated in their files.  In 1907 the State Department sequenced its collection chronologically and assigned a number to each order. 

No. 1 was assigned to the oldest order in the collection, a 20 October 1862 order by Lincoln.
