Two Questions about "Signing Statements"

[RJLipkin at aol.com]

When did the practice of  signing statements--where the President reveals his 
constitutional understanding  of the statute or how he intends to enforce 
various provisions--begin? And,  have there ever been notable examples of 
conflicts between Congress'  understanding of a bill and the President's 
understanding as expressed in a  signing statement?  Thanks.
