On the Desk watchlist

  • Executive Order 9066

    Feb 19, 1942 · Executive order · No. 9066

    Authorized the Secretary of War to prescribe military areas from which persons could be excluded, the legal hook for West Coast exclusion and incarceration.

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.
