Quite the opposite I think
"...the problem is that Congress ...is casting a leery eye at any moves by corporations to alter the way they do business."

Don't think so, Expensing options is driven by the shareholders, FASB has pushed for expensing for over a decade now.
This URL is Intel's shareholders asking Intel to expense options (Intel said no):

"Plus, I would imagine all those stockholders have been contacting their Congress persons to complain about the change."

Doesn't fit with stuff like the above - why are shareholders asking companies to expense?
There's been turf attempts and a lot of lobbying money and marches by company employees.
