Oh I remember quite well, and he had pen in hand on CFR and instead of Vetoing it his response was to joke about it and hope that the Supremes would nix the unconstitutional parts. Now what does that tell you about him? Oh, and just in case as usual,
I can't recall a President that "didn't" sign a bad piece of legislation...the ability to attach "riders" to a bill has always been a sore subject.
I can't remember if legislation granting the POTUS line item veto power ever passed.
Still, the issues are exlusive of each other. And one is legislation the other is a judicial ruling. Just because the POTUS signed that CFR POS, does't mean he's for the SCOTUS (doesn't mean he's against it, either.)
We just need to hear a statement from W on this. It's that important.
