Executive orders are directives written by the president to officials within the executive branch requiring them to take or stop some action related to policy or management. They are numbered, published in the Federal Register, and cite the authority by which the president is making the order.
Presidential memoranda are similar to executive orders, but they are neither numbered nor have the same publication requirements. The Office of Management and Budgetis also not required to issue a budgetary impact statement on the subject of the memoranda.
