[Peace-discuss] Truly scary stuff: Are we all helpless before King George?

[Morton K. Brussel]

This may be the "signing" Carl mentioned this evening. The only  
ambiguity seems to me to be whether this "signing" only pertains to  
the particular Act, H.R. 3010.

President's Statement on H.R. 3010, the 'Department of Labor, Heath  
and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies  
Appropriations Act, 2006'

Today, I have signed into law H.R. 3010, the "Departments of Labor,  
Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies  
Appropriations Act, 2006." This Act appropriates funds for key  
domestic programs, including programs to protect America's workers,  
help educate America's youth, and guard Americans against potential  
bioterrorism or epidemics.



The executive branch shall construe certain provisions of the Act  
that purport to require congressional committee approval for the  
execution of a law as calling solely for notification, as any other  
construction would be inconsistent with the constitutional principles  
enunciated by the Supreme Court of the United States in INS v.  
Chadha. These provisions include sections 103, 208, and language  
under the heading "Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation Fund."

The executive branch shall construe provisions in the Act that  
purport to mandate or regulate submission of information to the  
Congress in a manner consistent with the President's constitutional  
authority to withhold information that could impair foreign  
relations, national security, the deliberative processes of the  
Executive, or the performance of the Executive's constitutional  
duties. Such provisions include language under the heading  
"Department of Health and Human Services, Office of the Secretary,  
General Departmental Management."
