I think the difference here is that Trump is fulfilling both of your statements above.
He is not creating new exec orders, he is rescinding previously signed orders.
On the Federal hiring freeze, he IS the CEO of the executive branch of government. It is his prerogative, as with other Presidents, to manage it as he sees fit.
A vote is like a rifle: its usefulness depends upon the character of the user.
Theodore Roosevelt; 26th president of US (1858 - 1919)
