But notice this:

Bush informed US Secretary of State Colin Powell of the decision in a memo, known as a presidential determination, on Friday

And also notice this:

The Jerusalem Embassy Act, passed by Congress in 1995, obligated the US to move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem by May 31, 1999.
