This website offers a list of all Presidential Executive Orders: http://www.archives.gov/federal-register/executive-orders/disposition.html
Executive Orders are official documents (numbered consecutively) through which the President of the United States (hereafter POTUS) manages the operations of the federal government. The text of Executive orders appears in the daily Federal Register as each Executive order is signed by the President and received by the Office of the Federal Register. The text of Executive orders beginning with Executive Order 7316 of March 13, 1936, also appears in the sequential editions of Title 3 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).
