in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

A President's reorganization recommendation that has taken effect under section 359 overrides any conflicting law. It changes, replaces, or cancels earlier laws and earlier presidential recommendations, wherever they clash with it. It does not touch a law Congress passed about that same recommendation while it was still pending in Congress.

This section says what happens once a President's reorganization recommendation takes effect the way section 359 describes. From that point on, wherever the recommendation conflicts with something else, the recommendation wins. It is treated as changing, replacing, or canceling, to the extent of any conflict: (A) Every law passed before the recommendation's effective date or dates. This does not include a law Congress passed specifically about that recommendation during the period that starts when the President sends the recommendation to Congress under section 358 and ends when Congress approves it under section 359(2). (B) Any earlier presidential recommendation that had already taken effect under this chapter.
