An "Executive Order" is a numbered presidential directive that: is formally titled "Executive Order" followed by a number, is signed by the President, is published in the Federal Register, and has the force of law. All documents officially designated as "Executive Orders" with sequential numbering count, including Executive Orders that are later revoked or amended.

The signing date as recorded in the Federal Register determines which period an Executive Order belongs to. If, for example, the period was "Jan 1, 2025 to Jan 7, 2025," and on January 10th the Federal Register published a numbered Executive Order with a January 7th signing date, the market would resolve to Yes. The latest Expiration Date of the Contract shall be two weeks after the end of the period. If an Executive Order that is dated past Jul 5, 2026 to Jul 11, 2026 is posted to the Federal Register, expiration may be moved to an earlier date.
