Unlike all other presidents (except Nixon), he used it only because the Presidency did not have enough power. Whereas other presidents had respect for the segregation of powers as defined by the Constitution, Pres Cheney does not. Cheney stated so. Signing statements and other perversions of the American government were used to do torture, international kidnapping of the innocent, wiretapping of anyone including George Jr political opponents - especially whistle blowers, suspension of Habeas Corpus so as to eliminate Judicial powers, promoting lies to create "Mission Accomplished", and even unilaterally destroying international treaties only because extremists did not like those treaties. All these executed for the glory of wacko extremists and in contempt for American patriots - the moderates.
TheMercenary does not care because belligerence, violence, hate, and more wars mean the greater glory for extremism. He even hates immigrants such as ants, bees, and earth worms.
