The first words of the constitution after the preamble are "All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States". The only purpose of executive orders is for the president to explain how he will enforce laws passed by congress. That is not being done here. Obozo is writing laws telling americans what they can or cannot do.
