List of executive actions by William McKinley

The president of the United States may take any of several kinds of executive actions.

Executive orders are issued to help officers and agencies of the executive branch manage the operations within the federal government itself.^[1] Presidential memoranda are closely related, and have the force of law on the Executive Branch, but are generally considered less prestigious. Presidential memoranda do not have an established process for issuance, and unlike executive orders, they are not numbered. A presidential determination results in an official policy or position of the executive branch of the United States government.^[2] A presidential proclamation is a statement issued by a president on a matter of public policy, under specific authority granted to the president by Congress, typically on a matter of widespread interest.^[3] Administrative orders are signed documents such as notices, letters, and orders, that can be issued to conduct administrative operations of the federal government.^[4][5] A presidential notice or a presidential sequestration order can also be issued.^[6][7]

Listed below are executive orders numbered 97–140 signed by United States President William McKinley (1897–1901). He issued 185 executive orders.^[8] His executive orders are also listed on Wikisource.
