Executive Order 13545: President's Council on Fitness, Sports, and Nutrition

President: Barack Obama

Expanded the presidential fitness council’s remit to include sports participation and nutrition and created an advisory committee.

Status: Revoked. Is Executive Order 13545 still in effect? No. Executive Order 13545 was revoked. See Federal Register record.

What does Executive Order 13545 do?

EO 13545 renamed and broadened the long-running council to advise on physical activity, fitness, sports and nutrition. EO 13824 later changed the council and restored a youth-fitness test emphasis; EO 14048 revised it again. A 2025 order re-established the council with a sports and fitness focus.

Later evidence reviewed September 23, 2026: A new order renewed the sports and fitness council. HHS — President’s Council. This later record documents the stated step; it does not by itself establish every downstream agency action or legal outcome.

Administration position: The council promotes voluntary programs and advice; it does not regulate school curricula, diets or athletic eligibility nationwide.
