By issuing signing statements President Bush is not doing anything that most if not all previous Presidents have done and that is to protect the office of the Presidency.
The Presidency is not bound by congressional law if said law infringes upon the powers granted to the Presidency via the constitution unless or until the Supreme Court decides that said law is within the powers of Congress and makes a legal decision that the President is required to abide by said law.
It is rather simple. If Congress concludes that a President must abide by a law enacted by Congress it can always sue before the Supreme Court for a legal decision by the Supreme Court.
