I had never heard of signing statements before this administration. I know that previous presidents wanted the line item veto; but it was unconstitutional.

Simply muttering an exemption while signing a bill, seems contrary to the constitution idea of the legislative branch creating the law.

I like how Gore points out that it was George Washington who banned torture.
