UPDATED: An earlier version of this story did not have the Federal Register information from Friday, January 29.
It’s true. Americans are two weeks into the new presidential administration following Joe Biden’s inauguration as the 46th President of the United States on Jan. 20.
On his first day in office, Biden signed 17 executive orders to counter or undo several measures implemented by the Trump Administration regarding immigration, travel, federal agencies, COVID-19, and more.
Below readers will find last week’s most-read bills by the public and an up-to-date list of President Biden’s Executive Orders, Proclamations, and Memorandums.
Some of the signed orders have been entered into the Federal Register, and others have not been as of yet.
The Library of Congress releases the most read bills on a weekly basis, which can be past or present. The public has full access not only to view but to print or save.
Congress.gov is the official website for U.S. federal legislative information. The site provides access to accurate, timely, and complete legislative information for Members of Congress, legislative agencies, and the public.
Congressional documents from the first 100 years of the U.S. Congress (1774-1875) can be accessed through A Century of Lawmaking.
The Federal Register is the official accounting of the federal government of the United States that contains government agency rules, proposed rules, and public notices. It is published every weekday, except on federal holidays.
The Federal Register is compiled by the Office of the Federal Register (within the National Archives and Records Administration) and is printed by the Government Publishing Office.
Each daily issue of the printed Federal Register is organized into four categories:
- Presidential Documents (executive orders and proclamations)
- Rules and Regulations (including policy statements and interpretations of rules by federal agencies)
- Proposed Rules (including petitions to agencies from the public)
- Notices (such as scheduled hearings and meetings open to the public and grant applications)
