I was wondering about all the Executive Orders mentioned by Al so I did a quick internet search.  It appears that President Obama would have been a bit young to have signed Executive Order 10997 and according to government reports it was signed by President Kennedy in 1962.

Executive Order 10997
Assigning emergency preparedness functions to the Secretary of the Interior

• Signed: February 16, 1962
• Federal Register page and date: 27 FR 1522, February 20, 1962
• See: EO 10952, July 20, 1961
• Revoked by: EO 11490, October 28, 1969

You simply cannot believe everything is true just because you read it on the internet.
