Executive Order 13166, promulgated back in 2000 by the only national leader in history to have been impeached over fellatio (a far more important high crime and misdemeanor than lying to the world in order to start a war), "
is designed to improve access to federally conducted programs and activities and programs and activities of recipients of Federal funding for persons, who as a result of national origin, are limited in their English proficiency (LEP). The Order requires each Federal Agency providing federal financial assistance to publish guidance explaining federal-funds recipients’ obligations under Title VI regulations and to describe the steps recipients may take to satisfy these obligations. The Order also requires Federal Agencies to develop a plan to ensure appropriate LEP access to their own federally conducted programs and activities." (U.S. Dept. of Justice, Office of Civil Rights, Exec. Order 13166 ~ Limited English Proficiency Resource Document: Tips and Tools from the Field, Sept. 2004. This is really just an order calling for enforcement of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination based on national origin.
Comes now Rep. Pete King, R-NY:
With a bill in Congress, "To provide that Executive Order 13166 ... is null and void and shall have no force or effect. . . .No funds appropriate pursuant to any provision of law may be used to promulgate or enforce any executive order that creates an entitlement to services provided in any language other than English."
Rep. King is as handsome as his politics, don't you think?
