No Floor watchlist bills signed or vetoed in this term yet.

On the Desk watchlist

  • Executive Order 13045

    Apr 21, 1997 · Executive order · No. 13045

    Required agencies to identify and assess environmental health and safety risks that may disproportionately affect children.

Term dates follow standard presidential succession chronology. Non-consecutive terms (Cleveland, Trump) appear as separate ordinals. Birthday and vice-president fields merge the unitedstates executive catalog (Bioguide when present). Library links come from NARA; Federal Register counts cover modern presidential documents only. Signed and vetoed credits come from The Floor watchlist by outcome date. Desk actions are editorial, not a full Federal Register dump.
