Congress has no ability to override the Constitution through statutory text. That's really the whole point.

To impose checks and balances between the different coequal branches of government, no branch is able to do something that is not allowed by the Constitution that sets the ground rules for the US government.

And so, the legislative branch cannot force the executive branch any more than the executive branch can force the legislative branch. They each have their role to play, and anytime one tries to violate their limits, the other is entirely right to recognize that overreach.
