Congress has the power to overturn a regulation OR executive order by passing legislation that invalidates it. Congress can also refuse to provide funding necessary to carry out certain policy measures contained with the order or to legitimize policy mechanisms. In the case of the former, the president retains the power to veto such a decision; however, the Congress may override a veto with a two-thirds majority to end an executive order.

Desert - you are correct - an exec order can be overruled by Congress - on second thought that does make sense. Thanks for correcting me.

After Twitter’s suspension of Mitch McConnell’s Senate reelection account last year and the suspension of the accounts of several GOP congressmen in 2018, there is ZERO chance of the Democrats having enough votes to override a presidential veto if any such bill were ever to pass. GOP congressmen have been calling for Twitter to be brought to heel for years.
