The president does not have the legal authority to make such a general mandate. Congress might be able to do so, but congress works slowly and this needs to happen as soon as possible.

Like it or not, that is the system we have in the US.

"the legislature is too slow" is a purposeful design to avoid tyranny of short term thinking. When you hear the executive proclaiming this it never results in more civil liberties.
