This bill expands abortion funding to the greatest extent in history. I have heard that the President is contemplating issuing an Executive order to try to limit this. Members should not be fooled. Executive orders cannot override the clear intent of a statute. If an Executive order moves the abortion funding in this bill away from where it is now, it will be struck down as unconstitutional because Executive orders cannot constitutionally do that.
Sensenbrenner discusses concerns over abortion funding in a bill and the limitations of Executive orders.

I believe U.S. citizens would be best served if antitrust continues to retain its traditional focus on promoting consumer welfare and competition in markets.
I did not, and there is no system that I know of that provides artists with compensation when their work is used.
I'm not going to be on this committee in the next Congress. I am going to put my feet up and become a 'senior, statesman.'
Successful implementation of the mandate for competition in the antitrust laws encourages innovation, which is the main driver of economic growth.
