A "finding" is often secret, and can be anything, up to and including an order to shoot a Predator missile at someone's car. Interestingly, President Ford (Republican) issued executive order #11905 prohibiting anyone in U.S. intelligence (like the CIA, who controls the Predator missiles) from carrying out assassinations, and President Carter (Democrat) issued executive order #12036, which extended and clarified the prohibition. No-one seemed to care about these when the CIA was recently ordered to use a Predator missile to kill Anwar al-Awlaki (an American citizen born in Cruces, New Mexico in 1971). Addendum: Not all Executive Orders are public information and indeed "ARE" Secret if deemed appropriate by the President. Many people believe President Obama overlooked the US Constitution is his fervor to make changes he deemed appropriate. However, separation of the Powers was not understood by Obama very apparently.
