A Presidential Proclamation is a statement issued by a United Federation President on an issue of public policy. Presidential Proclamations are types of presidential directive.

Details

A presidential proclamation is a document that:

  • States a Condition
  • Declares a Law and Requires Obedience
  • Recognises an Event, or
  • Triggers the Implementation of a Law

Proclamations issued by the president fall into two broad categories:

  1. Ceremonial - which relate to matters of public holidays or special observances
  2. Substantive - which relate to the conduct of foreign affairs and other sworn executive duties

Unless authorised by the UF Congress, a presidential proclamation does not have the force of law. If an Act of Congress is passed that would take effect upon the happening of a contingent event, and the president later proclaims that the event happened, the proclamation would then have the force of law.
