If this is the case someone help me out here why was this clause put in the bill? Thanks for your help.

It changed nothing. Stupak's amendment was trying to further reign in abortions by making it so that any exchanges that were even remotely touched by federal money couldn't provide abortion for their insured, which would've gone far beyond current law and would've hindered women's ability to get an abortion even further.
So really, Stupak was grandstanding for absolutely nothing in the end, because even if Obama signs an order...it won't change anything.
