From: http://images.usatoday.com/news/_photos/2004/04/01/bush-signs-bill-inside.jpgThe President's signing statements are rewriting Congress's laws by reinterpreting them and by claiming that the Congress's laws are merely advisory.
The increased use of a signing statement contradicts the Constitution that says a veto is the President's only and exclusive avenue to prevent a bill's becoming law. Bush and Cheney cannot ignore the intelligence agency's complex structure for classifying and declassifying information.
