I also love how it says "Obama passing new law..."

Obama does not pass laws. That is the job of Congress. They pass them and Obama either signs of vetoes them. If he vetoes them, Congress can still get the law past him.

Obama can introduce bills to Congress, but he can't pass them. Neither can his VP, who essentially oversees the Senate.

Signing statements are a beast of their own, but they don't even come into play unless Congress passes something in the first place.
