Presidential Signing Statements
From :Hoover - Obama
"A "Signing Statement" is a written comment issued by a President at the
time of signing legislation. Often signing statements merely comment on the
bill signed, saying that it is good legislation or meets some pressing
needs. The more controversial statements involve claims by presidents that
they believe some part of the legislation is unconstitutional and therefore
they intend to ignore it or to implement it only in ways they believe is
constitutional. Some critics argue that the proper presidential action is
either to veto the legislation (Constitution, Article I, section 7) or to
"faithfully execute" the laws (Constitution, Article II, section 3)."

"Manners are of more importance
than laws. Manners are what vex or soothe,
corrupt or purify, exalt or debase, barbarize or refine us
by a constant, steady, uniform, insensible operation, like that of the air
we breathe in."
Edmund Burke (1729-1797)
