Congress to investigate Bush’s signing statements.

After a recent GAO report found that federal agencies ignored 30 percent of the laws President Bush objected to in signing statements last year, lawmakers now “say they plan to dig deeper into the Bush administration’s use of bill-signing statements as ways to circumvent Congressional intent.” Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WV) and Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) said that “their next step would be to explore the signing statements to determine the broad extent of their impact.”
