Sharing leadership is people who shares leadership, and should get equal blame. Signing Statements is a comment used to express an idea or opinion that the President either agrees or disagrees with. Some find the act controversial, arguing that a president should either veto the law at hand or faithfully execute it regardless. Personally for me, I agree with the critics. You should veto the law if you don’t find it right, if you don’t think it’s fair, and if your heart’s against it. It you change the law even if it's a tweek, it can actually hurt some people, and if that happens over and over again, it could go from hurting some people to hurting a lot of people. Some may think otherwise and say that they don't agree with the critics. That signing the to completly disregard the law, it just allows you to switch it up a little bit so you can go through the veto process. I think that they can and may be right but other time if you start doing it more and more it starts affecting laws and hurting people, and over time they actually are completly disregarding the law it's not just about the veto process. I'm pretty sure it's not, it's about the process of tweeking laws and even if you don't do it to the same law, over time, it starts getting worse and worse. The author was basically saying that we cannot take away the power of signing statements away just because Bush was misusing the power. The signing statement is an essential power for presidents. They were saying that we need to address the real issue which is Bush misusing the power not the fact that he has the power.
