You are quite correct but ya' gotta admit that he is leading the way and beating the bushes for it and as El presidente he would highly likely work diligently to make it the law of the land and if anyone doubts that then they aren't living in the real world.
Beating the bushes and leading the way for it would be an odd way to phrase it, as it has been Texas law for 10 years now. From my reading, I see nothing that indicates it was his plan in the first place, just an overwhelmingly support proposal in the Texas legislature, you know, those guys elected by Texans.
Perry was asked about it, and he thinks it’s a good idea. A dozen other states think it’s a good idea. Definitely not out of the mainstream.
