Two extreme examples of an executive order are Franklin Roosevelt's [[Executive Order 6102]] "forbidding the hoarding of gold coin, gold bullion, and gold certificates within the continental United States", and [[Executive Order 9066]], which delegated military authority to remove any or all people in a military zone (used to target [[Japanese Americans]], non-citizen [[Germans]], and non-citizen [[Italians]] in certain regions). The order was then delegated to [[General (United States)|General]] [[John L. DeWitt]], and it subsequently paved the way for all Japanese-Americans on the [[West Coast of the United States|West Coast]] to be sent to [[internment|internment camps]] for the duration of [[World War II]]. | Two extreme examples of an executive order are Franklin Roosevelt's [[Executive Order 6102]] "forbidding the hoarding of gold coin, gold bullion, and gold certificates within the continental United States", and [[Executive Order 9066]], which delegated military authority to remove any or all people in a military zone (used to target [[Japanese Americans]], non-citizen [[Germans]], and non-citizen [[Italians]] in certain regions).

President | President George W. Bush issued [[Executive Order 13233]] in 2001, which restricted public access to the papers of former presidents. The order was criticized by the [[Society of American Archivists]] and other groups, who say it "violates both the spirit and letter of existing U.S. law on access to presidential papers as clearly laid down in 44 [[United States Code|USC]] 2201–07", and adding that the order "potentially threatens to undermine one of the very foundations of our nation". President [[Barack Obama]] subsequently revoked Executive Order 13233 in January 2009.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/ExecutiveOrderPresidentialRecords/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090122234307/http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/ExecutiveOrderPresidentialRecords/|url-status=dead|archive-date=January 22, 2009|title=Executive Order 13489 of January 21, 2009 – Presidential Records|access-date=January 22, 2009}}, ''[[Federal Register]]'' publication page and date: {{USFR|74|4669}}, January 26, 2009.</ref> | ||
