ABA Attacks Bush's "Misuse" of Attaching Signing Statements
On Tuesday, the Lawyers Group, the American Bar Association approved a resolution condemning President Bush's mis-practice of writing exceptions to legislation he signs into law.
At the ABA's annual meeting, delegates, representing 410,000 members, approved the resolution objecting to any president using bill signing statements to dilute or change laws rather than using a veto.
Only one bill (on stem cell research) has been vetoed by Bush, but the president has written exceptions to 800 legislative provisions, more than all the previous presidents combined.
