Thanks. It's the "notwithstanding" that sticks in my head, because that exact construction has come up in discussions --- I think here! --- in the past.

The "notwithstanding" won't necessarily read like "notwithstanding previous bills about backdoors", either.

The override won't need to be obvious to be effective, is the point I'm trying to make.



Yes, often "notwithstanding" is used just as in my last example, with no reference to the overridden law.
