Vice President in charge was addressed in Executive Order #14105. Another change in this administration was that the President was confused by the multiple orders, proclamations, memorandums, and types issued by previous Presidents, especially presidential and national security directives, and personally decided to call everything Executive Orders.
Powers’ senior advisors had debated in what order the Executive Orders would be signed, as that would define what number they would be assigned. President Powers ultimately made that final decision, and many of the actual Executive Orders found in the federal and presidential records show Powers made pen & ink changes to numbering when he actually signed them. The Executive Orders signed on January 20th are grouped into several policy areas.
