Executive orders are orders given by the president, to assist the Federal government to work properly.
Executive privilege is the use of power by the President to be able to resist citations and other types of interventions. There are two types of executive privileges: the ones that include national security issues and the ones that take into account executive branch communications.
An executive order is usually made by the president to help officers and agencies manage their work within the federal government. In the United States, an executive order is a directive order issued by the President that manages operations of the federal government and also has the force of law.
On the other hand, an executive privilege is claimed by the president to oppose the interventions. This privilege allows the president and other high officials of the executive branch to keep certain communications private if disclosing them could possibly disrupt the decision-making processes of the executive branch.
