Comments on: It's Still Unconstitutional for the President to Sign a Bill into Law and Refuse to Obey It http://www.ohioverticals.com/blogs/akron_law_cafe/2009/07/still-unconstitutional-to-sign-a-bill-into-law-and-refuse-to-obey-a-law/ University of Akron School of Law Blog Sat, 21 Nov 2009 02:48:47 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Miss Terby http://www.ohioverticals.com/blogs/akron_law_cafe/2009/07/still-unconstitutional-to-sign-a-bill-into-law-and-refuse-to-obey-a-law/comment-page-1/#comment-1770 Miss Terby Thu, 02 Jul 2009 17:01:16 +0000 http://www.ohioverticals.com/blogs/akron_law_cafe/?p=2147#comment-1770 Not to mention that Candidate Obama denounced signing statements and vowed not to use them. This seems to be just one more example of Obama finding out that things are a bit different when you are actually the president than they are on the campaign trail. It's much easier when you don't have actual decisions to make. Not to mention that Candidate Obama denounced signing statements and vowed not to use them.

Signing statements become a "third way" to avoid complying with specific details of legislation, even though the Constitution is silent on signing statements. The very reason president's issue signing statements is political in nature. If a president vetoes a bill because it includes specifics he has no intention of following, opposition politicos will use the veto as proof that the president is "against the troops", or some such tripe. If America fails....it will be because our federal leaders can no longer do the right thing. Pragmatism wins and the nation's rule of law suffers. larry....please.....1000 plus signing statements by the Decider, yet Obama has "got some odd ideas." Our democratic process is breaking down.
