Right, well, you dodged the question after all.
There's NO STRUCTURE for reviewing presidential signing statements. They were mere comments before Bush started changing law in them. They're utterly extraconstitutional. And technically, they carry no legal weight, except that Bush authorized military action based on them. So now you've got the US military following laws that aren't laws except the boss says they are, and there's no procedure for any other branch of government to balance it. THAT'S what we mean by unilateral.
Now: I know in aceland, that never happened. My question for you is, IF IT DID, you would you have a problem with that?
