"An executive order is issued for the purpose of interpreting, implementing, or giving administrative effect to a provision . . . of some law." Black's Law Dictionary.
The governor's power to do this is derived from the Arkansas Constitution, particularly Art. 6, Sec. 2, which vests in the holder of this office the "supreme executive power" of the State--as well as statutory and case law. With this tool, he can fulfill his duty of ensuring that the laws are faithfully executed.
Unlike executive orders, which survive the administration of a given governor until they are repealed or superceded, policy directives are only for the administration of the issuing governor. They are provisions strictly for the executive branch (as opposed to executive orders, which are like legislation) in conducting the business of the State.
The Governor's Clemency Office processes all requests for and inquiries about Executive Clemency, oversees and coordinates investigations, prepares reports and drafts Executive Clemency Orders for the Governor. This office also acts as the liaison with government officials (federal, state, and county), various agencies, and parties interested in clemency.
Under Arkansas Statute §16-93-204 , the Parole Board has the authority to assist the Governor in exercising his authority in granting reprieves, commutations, and pardons, and shall perform such other services as may be required by the Governor in exercising his powers of executive clemency.
