What are signing statements and why do presidents issue them?
What will be an ideal response?
Signing statements are proclamations issued by the president to accompany bills they sign into law. They may simply clarify how the president will interpret the law but in the modern era tend to be used for the president to assert that some portion of the law is unconstitutional (in particular that it infringes on the president’s executive power), and thus he will not enforce portions of the law.
