Explanation:

An executive order is a directive issued by the President of a sovereign state that has the full backing of the law. It is always directed to the executive arm of the government. An executive order has a legal and constitutional basis and therefor enforceable. There are many executive orders that have been signed by the United States for various reasons depending on the purpose and the president who signed the order into effect. An example of such order is the Executive Order 10427.

The Executive Order 10427 was signed into effect on the 16th of January 1953 by then President Harry. S. Truman. The order is titled, 'Administration of Disaster Relief.' The report in general gave the authority to the federal agencies to offer disaster assistance to those affected by natural disasters. In section six of the Executive order, it elaborates the nature of administration of the Executive order. The section quotes,"Federal disaster relief provided  under the act shall be deemed to be supplementary to relief afforded by State, local, or private agencies and not in substitution therefor."
