Increased Transparency and Accountability in Presidential Executive Orders

This bill aims to enhance the transparency of presidential actions, especially concerning abortion-related matters. Citizens will gain earlier access to information about planned executive orders, allowing them to better understand their potential impact on daily life, rights, and obligations. This will also ensure greater oversight of how presidential decisions are made and implemented.
Key points
The President must publicly announce the text of an executive order and its impact on existing law 30 days before issuance.
Information will include how the order aligns with law and the Constitution, and which federal agencies will be involved.
The President must disclose a list of organizations and businesses consulted before issuing the order.
Every 12 months, the President will report on the outcomes of issued executive orders, increasing accountability for decisions.
This applies to executive orders related to abortion, including the prohibition on federal funds for abortions and the right to life.
