"Bush has issued at least 750 signing statements during his presidency, more than all other presidents combined, according to the American Bar Association. Typically, presidents have used signing statements for such purposes as instructing executive agencies how to carry out new laws. Bush's statements often reserve the right to revise, interpret or disregard laws on national security and constitutional grounds."
Are the use and quantity of these signing statements an abuse of power by President Bush. And if, through a loophole, this isn't an abuse of power under the law, should it be?
