Signing Statements and the Constitution

More oversight from the Judiciary Committee, but this time its the House Judiciary Committee and the subject is the constitutional status of presidential signing statements.

The title of the hearings suggests their tone: "Presidential Signing Statements under the Bush Administration: A Threat to Checks and Balances and the Rule of Law?"

I'll do what I can to summarize the arguments made by the witnesses.
