The executive branch
signing statement
A written statement the President issues when signing a bill, sometimes announcing how, or whether, the administration will enforce particular provisions.
In full
Signing statements range from ceremonial remarks to constitutional objections in which a President announces an intent to read, or decline to enforce, provisions they consider unconstitutional. They have no formal legal force, but they steer executive-branch behavior and signal fights to come.
