So, of all the checks and balances and having three branches of government, one branch is able to take all the power just by signing a single piece of paper giving themselves the power? That... Makes so much sense

Legally? No. But it's really highlighting the issue that the legislative and judicial branches don't have the ability to enforce anything since all law enforcement agencies are controlled by the executive. Their power depends on people agreeing they have that power.
