From above, "Opinions issued by the OLC are generally treated as binding and final within the executive branch." So they don't have any legal authority or hierarchy per se since they're two parts of one legally defined branch of the government, but apparently the OLC is supposed to be the authority.

  I'm not an expert on law by any means, but I think Obama can fix this with an executive order.
