"If you're positive."

The article did not specifically mention the order as coming from Trump or Obama, but from "the president." Since Obama is the president now, and the order came now, I assume it came from Obama. I don't want to get caught up in the exact moment the order takes effect (12:00 or 12:01 or whatever), but it seems to me that an order issued now must come from the sitting president.
