PRESIDENTIAL STATEMENTS |
||||
| The last step before a bill becomes a law
is that the President must sign the bill.
Often a president will release a statement
concerning the bill concurrent with the signing
of the bill. These statements are also part
of the ‘legislative history' of a particular
bill that has been enacted into law. Similarly,
the President will often release a statement
when he or she vetoes a piece of legislation.
