Anybody know whether enforcement of this act is limited to the Justice Department? Do parties and/or candidates have the right to bring complaints of alleged violations to the Federal Election Commission (or to federal court)?

As far as I know, Presidential pardons are absolute.


Why would he do that?

When the President sign the bill into law he stated (source):

"I also have reservations about the constitutionality of the broad ban on issue advertising, which restrains the speech of a wide variety of groups on issues of public import in the months closest to an election. I expect that the courts will resolve these legitimate legal questions as appropriate under the law."

It appears to be his last opportunity to stand up for his statement.
