Request sounds like an order if the DHHS wasn't planning on doing it in the first place.

He's exercised more of these types of authorities than most Presidents in a looong time. This wouldn't be a big deal if it was a one-time event. But it's a repetition of "orders", condemnations of other branches of government which hold his power in check, and situations where his orders supercede Constitutionality.
