...filing legislation to give Congress legal standing to sue President Bush over his use of signing statements to reserve the right to bypass laws.

Can someone explain what this means? Thanks.

Constitutionally, it means the Executive Branch would have no authority to administer the laws until after the Judicial Branch gave them direction in how to do so.

I suppose Specter would pass a law to let him sue the courts for mis-interpreting laws if they didn't give the "correct" direction.
