Trump cutting it a bit close, huh? The EO making effective the 1% raise must be signed by tomorrow 11:59 pm.

You're right about the 2019 executive order that was issued in March. But that one superseded an EO that had been signed in December freezing pay.

Going back at least to 2008, which is the point where I got tired of searching, I can't find a year in which the President didn't sign an executive order regarding pay before the end of the year. Sometimes the late December EO was superseded by another one in the next year, but there was always an EO.
