Executive order → Executive order (disambiguation) — There are only two pages on this disambiguation page titled "Executive Order". Of these, Executive order (United States) is the primary topic...it was hit 26K times last month; whereas the Tom Clancy novel got less than 20% of that and Statutory Instruments got only 398 hits (and it doesn't really belong here anyway, since its title doesn't have anything to do with executive orders). Propose Executive order redirect to the Executive order (United States), with the following hatnote:  Purpleback  pack  89  ≈≈≈≈  17:47, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Support, it's clear that the actual executive order is the primary topic. I might even countenance Executive Orders being the title of the novel's article, but the singular and lowercased version should be the governmental procedure.  Powers T 22:50, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Under "See also", I think a link to the wiki on "Rule by decree" should also be included, as both are similar in nature and effect.... i.e., 'It is now the law, because I decree it to be so'. These pronouncements are backed by nothing but proclaimed authority, such as the argument a mother would give against a child "do it because i say so"... who protests he has no vote or say so in a matter, and complying directly conflicts with his will, freedom, and / or best interest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.226.11.248 (talk) 07:21, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Executive Order

Untitled
I removed the sentence "US Presidents, furthermore, may issue an executive order or a presidential memorandum to ensure that federal courts abide by international tribunal rulings interpreting the provisions of an international treaty." It is unspupported; moreover, it is false in view of Medellín v. Texas, 552 U.S. 491 (2008).

Dab page style violations
There have been repeated attempts by one or more IP editors to modify this page by:


 * removing "may" in front of "refer to:"
 * moving some lines below See also

These both seems like errors to me, violations of Dab page style, but their repetition makes them seem like there is a possible dispute about something. I don't want to get into 3RR territory when the edits are not clearly vandalism.  jmcgnh  (talk) (contribs)  08:24, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
