B. False.

Answer 1

Option A, true, is the right answer.

Explanation:

A pronouncement issued by the U.S. President while singing a bill into law is known as the signing statement. This is a way through which the President can indicate his/her interpretation of the law. Such statements have been relatively neutral expressions or comment on legislation in several ways: explaining the need for enacting the law, giving instructions to the subordinate authorities for its implementation, making complimentary remarks, or showing disagreement with a section of the law.
