QUOTE
In this report it says that US Presidents have increasingly employed Signing Statements to assert Constitutional and legal objections to congressional enactments.

381 - Clinton (70 raised legal and constitutional objections)

152 - Bush (118 have contained over 800 constitutional challenges/objections)


The American Bar Association says that since the inception of our Republic up until the year 2000, Presidents have produced Signing Statements containing fewer than 600 challenges to bills they signed.

THAT SHOULD TELL YOU A GREAT DEAL!
