[ What is an "Executive Order"? ]
I hope these documents and those shown here and in the future will provide you a truer idea of the "work" of the President and the daily operation of our government than you might get from the movies, TV, or tabloid press.
Here are some more great resources for studying the presidency and the operation of the Executive branch.
The University of Michigan has a fascinating Web page called The Daily Diary of President Gerald R. Ford -- a complete journal of just one of President Ford's days. Take a look at it. A President's workday starts early and doesn't end until after midnight -- a pretty stressful little18-hour day.
