Trevor Potter, a former Republican chairman of the Federal Electoral Commission commented Thursday on the committee’s approval of an amendment presented by House Ways & Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady.
The charitable activities prohibition was passed without controversy in 1954 by a Republican Congress, signed by then- Republican President Dwight Eisenhower and has since been supported and strengthened on a bipartisan basis by administrations of both political parties, Potter added.
