is an EO an act of congress?

https:// www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-blocking-property-persons-involved-serious-human-rights-abuse-corruption/

Section 4001 of Title 18 states:

(a) No citizen shall be imprisoned or otherwise detained by the United States except pursuant to an Act of Congress

 

"The fact that the detainee is an American citizen, thus does not affect the President's constitutional authority as Commander in Chief to detain him, once it has been determined that he is an enemy combatant. As the Supreme Court has unanimously held, all individuals, regardless of citizenship, who "associate" themselves with the "military are of the enemy" and "with its aid, guidance and direction enter this country bent on hostile acts are enemy belligerents within the meaning of the Hague Convention and the law of war." 317 U.S at 37-38. Nothing further need to be demonstrated to justify their detention as enemy combatants. The individuals need not be caught while engaged in the act of war or captured within the theater of war."
