Questions: In which way does the use of the signing statements by presidents differ from the use of the executive orders? Executive orders usually create new policies, where signing statements alter a policy already passed by Congress. Executive orders require the consent of Congress and signing statements do not. There is no difference between signing statements and executive orders. Presidents can issue only a limited number of executive orders but can issue unlimited signing statements.

The answer is: Executive orders usually create new policies, where signing statements alter a policy already passed by Congress.

This option is correct. Executive orders are directives issued by the President to manage operations within the federal government and often create new policies or direct the implementation of existing laws. Signing statements, on the other hand, are written comments issued by the President at the time of signing legislation, often used to express the President's interpretation of the law or to raise constitutional objections, thereby potentially altering the implementation of a policy already passed by Congress.

This option is incorrect. Executive orders do not require the consent of Congress; they are issued unilaterally by the President. Signing statements also do not require congressional consent, as they are simply the President's commentary on legislation.

This option is incorrect. There are significant differences between the two. Executive orders are formal directives that have the force of law, while signing statements are not legally binding and serve as a tool for the President to express views on legislation.

This option is incorrect. There is no formal limit on the number of executive orders or signing statements a President can issue. Both are tools available to the President throughout their term in office.
