The EO was codified by Congress. Have you read the text of them, not just what someone wrote about them on the net.
Linked on FR is the entire September 12 2018 EO. I just copied the beginning. I have read it many times and keep bumping it as it is extremely important.
Also on the thread in the comments are the entire Insurrection Act, and the US codes for Treason, Misprision of Treason, Rebellion or Insurrection, Seditious Conspiracy, and Advocating Overthrow of the Government. You will note that the EO also details not just the foreign entities who attempt to influence elections, but also those who assist them in any way. IOW, Americans. Who would then be covered by some or all of the US code above.

Although there has been no evidence of a foreign power altering the outcome or vote tabulation in any United States election, foreign powers have historically sought to exploit America’s free and open political system. In recent years, the proliferation of digital devices and internet-based communications has created significant vulnerabilities and magnified the scope and intensity of the threat of foreign interference, as illustrated in the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment. I hereby declare a national emergency to deal with this threat.
Accordingly, I hereby order:
