[President Donald Trump](http://time.com/4663740/donald-trump-travel-ban-enactment/)‘s flurry of executive actions — 12 orders and 11 memoranda since taking office — outline his strategy to build a border wall, restrict immigration, fight terrorism and more.

But these orders aren’t inviolable, as seen Feb. 3 when U.S. District Judge James Robart [temporarily blocked](http://time.com/4660416/donald-trump-ban-muslim-blocked/?iid=sr-link1) Trump’s travel ban. Robart said that a judge’s job is to ensure that an action taken by the government “[comports with our country’s laws](http://time.com/4662315/trump-travel-ban-supreme-court-lawyers/?xid=homepage).”

Those laws, outlined in the constitution, don’t make specific provision for executive actions. But presidents have issued actions since George Washington, whose orders included making Nov. 26 a [national day of thanks](http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/index.php?pid=65502). Other [famous executive actions](http://time.com/4655131/executive-orders-history/) include desegregating the military and establishing the Peace Corps.

William Henry Harrison, who died after 32 days in office from pneumonia, is the [only president that never issued an order](http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/data/orders.php). Franklin D. Roosevelt penned the most, at 3,721, [creating the Works Progress Administration](http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/index.php?pid=15053) of the New Deal, and infamously permitting Japanese-American [interment camps](http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/index.php?pid=61698).

Click on the executive actions below, which include executive orders and presidential memoranda, to see a summary and the full text.
