Statement by the President
Today, I have signed into law S. 512, the “Nuclear Energy
Innovation and Modernization Act” (the “Act”). Several provisions of
the Act, including sections 102(a)(1) and (3), 103(b)(3), (c)(3),
(d)(3), (e)(3), purport to require the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to
submit budget requests to the Congress to implement certain programs or
to limit the amount it may request for those programs. Other provisions
of the Act, sections 103(e)(4)(B) and (D), purport to require the
Commission to evaluate whether additional legislative authority or
appropriations are needed to implement a certain program envisioned by
the Congress. My Administration will treat these provisions in a manner
consistent with Article II, section 3 of the Constitution, which
provides the President with the discretion to recommend to the Congress
only “such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient.”
