Laws are not the only rules. Rules can also be enforcement policies, executive policies... President already has the power of which you speak and has had since inception! But not if career beaurocrats are in the way and can’t be removed or overridden by the will of the people (in selecting a president)!
IMO "rules" is just a BS loophole for the lawmaking to be punted. The executive branch is not supposed to be making "rules" that impact our day to day lives. There's a reason these laws and rules are tens of thousands of pages long.
“It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood.” James Madison
Forget term limits. We need page limits. And we need the laws, rules, regulations, whatever you want to call them, drafted by elected legislators that can be fired. The President's Men cannot be fired directly by the people.

Agree with page limits!
Executive branch can and does make rules!
See: Executive orders! Border control policy! And many others!
