Who signs executive orders? ... Yes, the president does.

Have you read the EO?

"(c) If the Director of the Information Security Oversight Office determines that information is classified in violation of this order, the Director may require the information to be declassified by the agency that originated the classification. Any such decision by the Director may be appealed to the President through the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs. The information shall remain classified pending a prompt decision on the appeal. "

If the President could arbitrarily declassify any classified information, why would it be necessary to refer it back to the originating agency or establish a procedure for them to appeal the declassification?

Does it make sense that any President can divulge sensitive, classified information to a foreign power and can escape prosecution because he can automatically declassify it? No man is above the law, even the President.
