This executive order marked a significant step towards civil rights and laid the groundwork for further integration within the military, contributing to broader societal changes regarding racial equality in the United States.

Combating Emerging Firearms Threats and Improving School-Based Active-Shooter Drills

# data[].attributes.body
This executive order was signed to combat rising violent threats proposed toward American schools. Joe Biden is quoted as saying; "One way to continue the progress on reducing gun violence is to stay ahead of emerging violent crime threats involving firearms. My Administration has always taken these threats seriously. In April 2021, one of my Administration's first executive actions to reduce gun violence was directed at stopping the proliferation of firearms without serial numbers, often referred to as “ghost guns.” To expand these efforts, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) of the Department of Justice established an Emerging Threats Center, which focuses ATF's resources on identifying developments in illicit firearm marketplaces, including the use of new technologies to make and unlawfully distribute undetectable firearms and devices that convert semiautomatic firearms into illegal machine guns."

Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal

# data[].attributes.body
This executive order was issued on January 20th, 2025, by Donald J. Trump. With this order, Trump defends women's rights and protects freedom of conscience by using clear and accurate language and policies that recognize women are biologically female, and men are biologically male. Meaning, if you are a transgender man who was once a woman, you will be identified as a woman, vice versa. I do not think this was a good use of presidential power. He has made many pointless EOs, and this is one of them. The people's genders have nothing to do with him, if they want to be considered a man or woman, and have already paid for surgery, it is none of his business.

The order was about providing better educational opportunities for Latino and Hispanics of all ages. This was an important order because the number of people from both backgrounds is increasing and the need to have better opportunities for them also need to be better. I think this was a good use of presidential power because the country is growing and the need for free and equal education is also important.

This act allows for the appropriation of sundry civil expenses, which allows smaller things like office supplies, postage, one-off purchases, and minor repairs—tucked neatly into its own expense for the government. This allows smaller things to be taken out of the civil servant's pay cuts. I believe that this was a useful way to use presidential power, just not very needed.

Whereas one of the most important and urgent problems confronting this Nation today is the development of a positive food and nutrition program for all Americans;

Whereas I have received the report of the Task Force on Area Redevelopment under the chairmanship of Senator Douglas, in which special emphasis is placed upon the need for additional food to supplement the diets of needy persons in areas of chronic unemployment;

Whereas I am also advised that there are now almost 7 million persons receiving some form of public assistance, that 4.5 million persons are reported as being unemployed and that a substantial number of needy persons are not recipients in the present food distribution program;

Whereas the variety of foods currently being made available is limited and its nutritional content inadequate; and

Whereas despite an abundance of food, farm income has been in a period of decline, and a strengthening of farm prices is desirable.

NOW, THEREFORE, by virtue of the authority vested in me as President of the United States, it is ordered as follows:

The Secretary of Agriculture shall take immediate steps to expand and improve the program of food distribution throughout the United States, utilizing funds and existing statutory authority available to him, including section 32 of the Act of August 24,1935, as amended (7 U.S.C. 612), so as to make available for distribution, through appropriate State and local agencies, to all needy families a greater variety and quantity of food out of our agricultural abundance.

Kennedy to insure that while in war/under attack, civilians will be transferred into a fallout shelter and will be taken care of. including the initiation of a substantial shelter program, requires new organizational arrangements. This shows that John F was trying to protect family's during war instead of them having to run around the world to find somewhere to hide. They are require to being taken care of as I said and John F also required and a team to make sure we are healthy after and during the war.

Executive Order 13505- Removing Barriers to Responsible Scientific Research Involving Human Stem Cells.

# data[].attributes.body
Executive Order 13505, issued by former President Baraka Obama on March 09, 2009, was intended to remove barriers to funded stem cell research. Its ultimate goal was to expand support for the exploration of human stem cell research hoping to discover new ideas and therapies for the benefit of health. Obama believed that human embryonic stem cells had the potential to improve the understanding and treatment of many disabling diseases and conditions. It's stated that this research was previously limited by Presidential actions, which Obama wanted to reverse. Undoubtably, there was controversy towards this Executive Order mainly due to concerns surrounding embryonic stem cell research. I believe that this was a decent use of presidential power because it benefited those who were passionate about the research as well as the ones who were in need of an answer for their health. However, it doesn't provide any advantages for most of society.

Since we need our environment, we have to sustain it in order to use it.
