Reply #107: what scares me is what is this doing in a signing statement

[MissWaverly]

I have come to believe that Bush considers only his signing statements and executive orders
the law, which is why he has included this here. This is like his little island in the stream.
I understand what you are saying but I am trying to point out that this has nothing to do
with interpreting the constitution, it is the nuts and bolts of running the Iraq War, "managing
congress" and running the government are all in these little kernels. Like the breezy letter
that he wrote requesting 10 million dollars to reimburse the City of DC for security. It's not
wrong to ask for money but that is the purpose of a "budget." I think that ALL the money to
run the Iraq War has been from these emergency declarations and not formally part of any real
budget debate.
