HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_012391.jpg
This document, labeled 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_012391,' lists historical precedents of U.S. Presidents from 1876 to 1990 using signing statements to challenge the constitutionality of 'legislative veto' provisions in various acts. Presidents including Kennedy, Nixon, Reagan, and Grant are cited as having declared they would not be bound by such provisions, treating them as non-binding requests or nullities. The document appears to be legal or historical research compiled for a government body, but its content does not contain any information related to Jeffrey Epstein.
