It’s not clear that such an executive order would be valid.

Only Congress can make a law; the President cannot unilaterally make a law.

The President is only permitted by law to issue regulations within the scope of discretion granted by Congress or otherwise with authority under the Constitution.

I wonder what law, if any, the President claims gives him the power to make such a broad executive order which is in the nature of a law.

I suspect that there is no sound authority, and that this is another dishonest, unlawful abuse of power by the socialist usurpers.

What you say is true. I can see Stupak wanting a lot more expansion on this issue if he is to agree. If anything, this could postpone the vote into next week.
