I think this bill is a good idea. It's important for the President to follow court orders, just like everyone else has to. It helps keep our government in check and ensures that the rule of law is upheld. I believe this bill will help maintain the balance of power in our country and protect our democracy. It's a step in the right direction for accountability and transparency in our government.
