Bush ignores laws he inks, vexing Congress
WASHINGTON – A bill becomes the rule of the land when Congress passes it and the president signs it into law, right?
Not necessarily, according to the White House. A law is not binding when a president issues a separate statement saying he reserves the right to revise, interpret or disregard it on national security and constitutional grounds.
…“It means that the administration does not feel bound to enforce many new laws which Congress has passed,” said David Golove, a New York University law professor who specializes in executive power issues. “This raises profound rule of law concerns. Do we have a functioning code of federal laws?”</i>
Granted, we spoke on this topic months ago, but its nice to finally see the MSM picking up on it. Do we have a rule of law anymore? Apparently not.
