"This EO says that they can't"

Where does it say that? What existing EOs explicitly say congress needs to overturn it?

“authoritative interpretations of law for the executive branch”

That means that if Congress passes a law with an implicit/explicit interpretation the Executive Branch can simply ignore that.

And there are no existing EOs that say Congress needs to overturn it. It has been the rule since forever that Congress makes the laws. Executive Branch implements it accordingly.
