    But one of the major points of the document is to divide and limit power.

      Yes, and to that end, I think they would have thought the evolution of the executive branch to now would have been counter to their goals. As to how the executive branch self-organizes, I don’t think that was a huge concern since that should never have been as big a branch as it grew to be.

      Strictly speaking, the EO does not refer to Judicial or Legislative folks, only those who ultimately belong to the executive branch. They didn’t imagine that the executive branch would have de-facto unilateral control over so much scope.
