Question, the article talks about congress giving him the power to implement sanctions. Is it a requirement to do so or does the deadline just mean he no longer has the power?
It means he no longer has the power to impose sanctions for their election meddling. I believe there is still authority to do so related to the Ukraine/Crimea fun. I think this was just a rather unprecedented situation given the large majorities that voted for the bill. He pretty much had to sign it because it was veto proof.
