Maybe my point wasn’t clear. Why would a President issue a formal order to tell HIMSELF what to do (or not do)?

No I got it. EO’s are almost exclusively used to direct other Executive Branch employees on how to perform their duties. But the President him or herself is also part of the Executive Branch, and not exempt from the EO’s directives, unless they rescind or replace it.

Your last statement has no basis in constitutional law.

I don’t think that is correct. In fact I am pretty dang sure it is not correct. The reason being that the President is not considered an officer or an employee or other such functionary normally subject to such orders.
