Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Presidents are required to state the constitutional or statutory basis for their use of executive orders. This is because executive orders derive their authority from the Constitution or from legislation passed by Congress. A clear explanation of the legal basis for the executive order helps to ensure that it is within the president's legal authority and is not an abuse of power.
