Executive orders later changed by another order, with the sentence that changes them: Donald John Trump · Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. · Barack Obama

The National Archives labels later actions on orders from January 8, 1937 through January 19, 2017. Orders outside that window show no later action unless another source supplies one.

About the status labels
