Maybe instead of performing mental gymnastics to expand the executive’s power well beyond beyond what Congress has legislated, we should just pass new laws

I am not sure this is a good idea. Having congress legislate just adds friction, removes chances of personal gain for the the executive branch, and has the potential of actually changing parts of it based on democratic debate. A good middle position would be to have the executive power do its thing and have congress legislate/approve long after the fact has been established.
