Need some help on terminology, please ! |
|
What is the legal term for Bush's practice of signing a bill into law, but also signing a statement about his interpretation of the bill and how he plans to enforce it?
Thanks for your help !

4. It's officially called a "signing statement." |
|
I don't know if there's any more-legalistic term for it.
