                                 A BILL


 
   To nullify the effect of certain provisions of various Executive 
                                orders.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Terrorist Elimination Act of 2001''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) past Presidents have issued Executive orders which 
        severely limit the use of the military when dealing with 
        potential threats against the United States of America;
            (2) these Executive orders limit the swift, sure, and 
        precise action needed by the United States to protect our 
        national security;
            (3) present strategy allows the military forces to bomb 
        large targets hoping to eliminate a terrorist leader, but 
        prevents our country from designing a limited action which 
        would specifically accomplish that purpose;
            (4) on several occasions the military has been ordered to 
        use a military strike hoping, in most cases unsuccessfully, to 
        remove a terrorist leader who has committed crimes against the 
        United State;
            (5) as the threat from terrorism grows, America must 
        continue to investigate effective ways to combat the menace 
        posed by those who would murder American citizens simply to 
        make a political point; and
            (6) actions by the United States Government to remove such 
        persons is a remedy which should be used sparingly and 
        considered only after all other reasonable options have failed 
        or are not available; however, this is an option our country 
        must maintain for cases in which international threats cannot 
        be eliminated by other means.

SEC. 3. NULLIFICATION OF EFFECT OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF VARIOUS 
              EXECUTIVE ORDERS.

    The following provisions of Executive orders shall have no further 
force or effect:
            (1) Section 5(g) of Executive Order 11905.
            (2) Section 2-305 of Executive Order 12036.
            (3) Section 2.11 of Executive Order 12333.
                                 &lt;all&gt;
