President Bush is attaching signing statements that says he doesen't have to. Signing statements of former Presidents have never made that claim.

When someone provides you with material disproving your claims, as hipaatwo did in #35, you may want to take advantage of the free research before continuing to spout off. You may not have been banned otherwise.

I will give you credit though, as a lib you show more respect for our President and the office, than most on this forum.

Now, had you read a little from the link at post 35, you would have found this:

Roosevelt further demanded that the provision be removed and if the Congress did not remove it, he would treat it as a nullity.

Roosevelt had solicited and received advice from the Dean of the Oregon Law School regarding what powers were afforded him during a time of war, particularly what rights did he have to ignore sections of laws he determined interfered with the war effort.

The Dean told him that “if you decide that a certain course of action is essential as a war measure, it supersedes congressional action.”32 The Congress yielded and the section was removed.33
