I think some (most?) of GWB's signing statements have been classified. So he says he's not going to abide by the whole bill he's signing into law, but he won't even announce publicly which parts he's planning to ignore. For 'national security,' of course.
That's thoroughly possible, although the last time people really took a look at them, there seems to be a bit of a boilerplate part attached that "the Executive will interpret this in such a way such that it doesn't interfere with what we believe to be our Constitutional authorities" to all the ones that are there. If there are, indeed, classified signing statements, I'm very curious as to what is contained in them.
