President George W Bush signed HR 4986 and immediately issued another one of his "hainatanga tauākī."
Must notably was he excluded himself of the responsibility to adhere to hekona 1222:
SEC. 1222. TE KAUPAPA I TE WAWAteatanga o nga moni mo etahi take e pa ana ki a IRAQ.
Karekau he moni i wehea i runga i te whakamanatanga o nga moni i roto i tenei Ture e ahei te herea, te whakapau ranei mo tetahi kaupapa penei:
(1) Ki te whakatu i tetahi whakaurunga hoia, turanga turanga ranei mo te whakarite mo te tuunga tuturu o nga Ope Taua o Amerika ki Iraq.
(2) Hei whakamahi i te mana whakahaere o Amerika mo nga rawa hinu o Iraq.
Yes, you are reading that correctly. Congress approved funds but said they cannot be used to build permanent bases or to control Iraqi oil resources. Bush immediately issued his signing statement saying he does not have to comply with that provision.
