Congressional record ↑
Term 1: November 22, 1963 – January 20, 1965 · Democrat Term 2: January 20, 1965 – January 20, 1969 · Democrat

Terms run from inauguration to inauguration, based on the public executive-branch record kept by the unitedstates project — see sources.

Select any row to open that order's file. REVOKED and AMENDED come from the National Archives tables of later actions on orders, which cover January 8, 1937 to January 19, 2017; orders outside that window show no status, which does not mean they were left unchanged.

In the courts

Cases naming the office of president

Federal cases whose caption names the President of the United States as a party and that the record shows before the court while this person held the office. The date on each line is the date of that record, not necessarily the day the case was filed. Being named in an official-capacity case is not a finding about the person, and nothing here says who won. Personal matters are left out entirely.

We have not found a public court record that clearly names this person in their official role, matches the dates they held office, and comes from a court we can follow. That does not mean no case exists. It means we have no qualifying record to show here.

Case records come from each court's own docket and from the United States Courts Opinions collection published by the Government Publishing Office. Select any case to open the official record. Search another politician or see sources and methodology.
