Code of Conduct for POWs was promulgated under which president?

Code of Conduct for POWs was promulgated under which president?

• A. Truman
• B. Eisenhower
• C. Kennedy
• D. Nixon

Answer: (B)

This question is about who established the official Code of Conduct for American prisoners of war. The Code of Conduct provides a framework for how service members should behave if captured, guiding their duties, resilience, and loyalty under captivity. It was promulgated in 1955 during Dwight D. Eisenhower’s presidency, through Executive Order 10631, as a formal standard for POW behavior after experiences in the Korean War. The other presidents listed—Truman, Kennedy, and Nixon—were not the ones who originated this code. So the correct answer is Eisenhower.
