CNN.com - ABA: Bush violating Constitution - Jul 24, 2006
Bush has used this weapon to exempt his administration from provisions of new laws almost 800 times. That helps explain why he had never vetoed a bill until last week - he didn't need to; he was not going to enforce the new law anyhow! Remember, he is "the decider!" Bush is determined not to play by any rules other than the ones of his own making. And that includes the Constitution.
The total number of times all other presidents in United States history have used "signing statements" is 568; and almost half of that number were issued by Bush Sr. in four yesrs.
