BTCnews via KOS, on Bush's use of bill-signing statements to avoid being bound by congressional laws:
In 2003, lawmakers tried to get a handle on Bush’s use of signing statements by passing a Justice Department spending bill that required the department to inform Congress whenever the administration decided to ignore a legislative provision on constitutional grounds.Bush signed the bill, but issued a statement asserting his right to ignore the notification requirement.
