Limits executive orders during shutdowns

If enacted, the government would be barred from using any federal funds to create or issue Executive orders or presidential memoranda during a lapse in discretionary appropriations (a shutdown). The ban would apply across the Executive Branch and cover all federal funds. It would only apply during the shutdown period. It would kick in for lapses that start after the Act is enacted. This could delay new directives and guidance until funding is restored.
