If President Obama can fire the CEO of GM, I'll bet he can sign your FPLA draft into law without an approval from the Congress. George Bush set the wheels into motion for a president to ignore Congress. When the Congress becomes ineffective it is time to go over their heads and deal with the guy at the top.

However, the FPLA contains many other Acts of Congress which assign authorities to the FDA, USDA, FTC, BATF, EPA, etc.; and legislation is the duty of the Congress not a function of the Executive Branch except by executive orders of limited scope; so President Obama can not simply sign FPLA 2010 into law without prior action by Congress.
