White House officials said Bush left the Clinton guidelines for fetal-derived cells in place because Congress passed a law in 1993 that made it illegal for presidents to ban funding for such research.

Was Bush aware of this when he made his little pledge? If so, it was disingenuous of him. If he didn't know about it at the time, why hasn't he made any attempts to get this law changed? It reminds me of the flap over the release of the report on Global Warming...

Why didn't Bush come out and tell the American public that such a law existed, once he found out about it? That, I think, is my main question about this.

Would his attempts succeed with a Dem controlled Senate?
