Executive actions are decisions made by the President of the United States to manage the operations of the federal government. These actions can take various forms, including executive orders, proclamations, and memoranda. They allow the president to implement policies and direct government agencies without needing new legislation from Congress. While executive actions can be powerful tools for enacting change, they are limited in scope and can be challenged in court. Additionally, future presidents can reverse or modify these actions, which can lead to shifts in policy depending on the administration in power.
