The president of the United States may take any of several kinds of executive actions.

Executive orders are issued to help officers and agencies of the executive branch manage the operations within the federal government itself.[1] Presidential memoranda are closely related, and have the force of law on the Executive Branch, but are generally considered less prestigious. Presidential memoranda do not have an established process for issuance, and unlike executive orders, they are not numbered. A presidential determination results in an official policy or position of the executive branch of the United States government.[2] A presidential proclamation is a statement issued by a president on a matter of public policy, under specific authority granted to the president by Congress, typically on a matter of widespread interest.[3] Administrative orders are signed documents such as notices, letters, and orders, that can be issued to conduct administrative operations of the federal government.[4][5] A presidential notice or a presidential sequestration order can also be issued.[6][7] National security directives[a] operate like executive orders, but are only in the area of national security. They have been issued by different presidents under various names.[8]

Listed below are executive orders numbered 13489–13764 and presidential memoranda signed by U.S. President Barack Obama (2009-2017). There are an additional 1186 presidential proclamations that are not included here, but some of which are on Wikisource. The signing statements made by Obama during his time in office have been archived here.
