Much less well-known than the executive order is the presidential signing statement, which, as “a presidential power tool,” according to Phillip J. Cooper in his recent book, By Order of the President, is “relatively new and still evolving.”4 As defined by Cooper:
Presidential signing statements (PSSs) are announcements made by the president, usually prepared by the Justice Department, that go beyond merely lauding passage of a statute to identify provisions of the legislation with which the president has concerns. They also provide the president’s interpretation of the language of the law, announce constitutional limits on the implementation of some of its provisions, or indicate directions to executive branch officials as to how to administer the new law in an acceptable manner. So constituted, the signing statement has been used as a tool of presidential direct action since the Reagan administration.5
As with current executive orders, current presidential signing statements are available on the White House website. However, it is important to distinguish between the similarly-named public-oriented statement and the legal statement.
For instance, under “news” - March 9, 2006 are two distinct documents. One, “President Signs USA PATRIOT Improvement and Reauthorization Act”6 is the public statement, in the nature of a press release.

On May 26, 2011, President Barack Obama signed a bill that reauthorized key elements of the Patriot Act. The bill called for a four-year renewal of some of the most controversial provisions of the surveillance legislation. While the bulk of the Patriot Act is steadfast law, there are certain measures that Congress must periodically reauthorize or else they expire. Among them is roving wiretaps, i.e., the ability of law enforcement officials to track targets if they change phones without law enforcement first consulting a judge.

You mean like George W signing 291 executive orders?
