The Executive Office of the President (EOP) is a group of federal entities responsible for advising and supporting the president's policy agenda and administration. The EOP was established during the Roosevelt administration in 1939. The EOP's composition has changed over time as different presidential administrations have added, transferred, and removed entities from the office.[1]
Under the Biden administration, the EOP has 11 divisions.[2]
Mission
The White House provides the following mission for the EOP on its website:
“ | Every day, the President of the United States is faced with scores of decisions, each with important consequences for working families. To provide the President with the support that he or she needs to govern effectively, the Executive Office of the President (EOP) was created in 1939 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The EOP has responsibility for tasks ranging from communicating the President’s message to the American people to promoting our trade interests abroad..[3] | ” |
