By his use of the so-called "signing statement" as a means to appropriate legislative power to himself, and as a means to make himself immune from signed law, George W. Bush has shown blatant disregard for the separation of powers set forth in the U.S. Constitution.
If George Washington had done the same, can we imagine that the first Congress would take no action, or delay action on the grounds of "bad timing", or political expediency?
