This isn’t a law. It’s a regulatory policy.
Simple, broad laws have another term that you can often use to describe them: “sweeping”.
Those kinds of changes are better left to legislators, who are responsive to political pressure and subject to elections.
I’m all for regulatory rulemaking by executives, but it should generally be careful narrow rulemaking. Simple, broad, sweeping changes should generally be left to the legislature.

Simple, broad, sweeping changes should generally be left to the legislature. I would agree, if not for the empirical evidence showing us that legislators rarely make the changes that the people want. If they're not going to do it, somebody else has to. Narrower changes would be nice, but they require a correspondingly short feedback loop of decide-act-adjust, which does not currently exist for legislators or most government administrators. If one desires narrower changes, I encourage them to first ensure the government moves and responds to customer (citizen) needs, faster than it currently does. Either way, government structure and action should be what meets the needs of the people.
