“(b) “Agency,” unless otherwise indicated, means any authority of the United States that is an “agency” under 44 U.S.C. 3502(1), and shall also include the Federal Election Commission.

The Federal Election Commission was not under Presidential rule prior to their executive order. It would be ridiculous for an elected position to control the election commission for obvious reasons of election tampering potential.

This might seem to be a reaffirmation of the constitution at a passing glance, but most certainly is more sinister if you dig into the statues and governmental overseeing bodies being affected by this claim.
