President Obama

More Executive Orders This Morning

President Obama will be signing more executive orders at around 11:30 eastern today. For future reference, you can read all of the non-classified executive orders here.

I'm particularly enjoying the following section of the Presidential Records order from yesterday:

Upon receipt of a claim of executive privilege by a living former President, the Archivist shall consult with the Attorney General (through the Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Counsel), the Counsel to the President, and such other executive agencies as the Archivist deems appropriate concerning the Archivist's determination as to whether to honor the former President's claim of privilege or instead to disclose the Presidential records notwithstanding the claim of privilege.

In English: former Bush administration people are totally screwed.
