If this doesn’t scare the Hell out of you, then you really need to start paying attention. Our Glorious and Benevolent Leader is signing legislation, but including “signing statements” essentially providing his own interpretation and laying the groundwork for ignoring portions of legislation he doesn’t agree with.
Our Glorious and Benevolent Leader is not the first President to emply signing statements. The practice originated with Ronald Reagan, and signing statements have been a not altogether uncommon phenomenon since then. Nonetheless, Our Glorious and Benevolent Leader is the first sitting President to use signing statements to indicated what portions of legislation he believes he can skirt.
Can you say “Imperial Presidency”??
