The Executive Order is meaningless because it cannot modify a law passed by Congress. That would amount to a line item veto which, coincidentally was ruled unconstitutional in a case brought by Pelosi. Stupak only wanted political cover and chose party over principle.

Yeah, but no Democrat would bring suit on this because of party discipline, and no Republican would because it would enrage pro-life voters. It's rather clever, because it won't be challenged, and it did provide cover for Stupak, who really wanted to vote with his party.
