The American Presidency Project：Signing Statements

類似條約，美國國會通過的法律，總統仍有以行政權予以制衡的權力，即在簽署時保留某些狀況不受國會法律條文的限制。一旦簽署了，就要履行。

拜登總統 就 HR 4004（美國與台灣關於 21 世紀貿易第一協議實施法案的倡議）發表的聲明Statement from President Joe Biden on H.R. 4004, the United States-Taiwan Initiative on 21st-Century Trade First Agreement Implementation Act　白宮/ Taimocracy翻譯 20230807

Today, I have signed into law H.R. 4004, the “United States-Taiwan Initiative on 21st-Century Trade First Agreement Implementation Act” (the “Act”).  Among other things, the Act would impose requirements on the negotiations of certain further trade agreements between the United States and Taiwan.  今天，我簽署了HR 4004號法律，即《美國與台灣倡議21世紀貿易第一協議實施法案》（以下簡稱“法案”）。除其他外，該法案將對美國和台灣之間某些進一步的貿易協定的談判提出要求。

Section 7 of the Act includes requirements for the negotiation of certain further trade agreements with Taiwan that raise constitutional concerns.  Section 7(b) of the Act would require the United States Trade Representative (USTR) to provide negotiating texts to congressional committees in the midst of negotiations with a foreign partner, and section 7(c) of the Act would preclude the USTR from transmitting United States-proposed texts to Taiwan while the Congress is reviewing them.  Section 7(c) of the Act would further, in violation of INS v. Chadha, afford 2 members of the Congress the power to increase the required waiting period before the USTR may provide texts to Taiwan.  Section 7(d) of the Act would require the inclusion of members of the Congress as accredited members of the United States delegation who would be entitled to daily briefings, including of tentative agreements.  In cases where the requirements of section 7 of the Act would impermissibly infringe upon my constitutional authority to negotiate with a foreign partner, my Administration will treat them as non-binding.  該法案第 7 條包括與台灣就某些進一步貿易協定進行談判的要求，這引起了憲法方面的擔憂。該法案第 7(b) 條將要求美國貿易代表 (USTR) 在與外國合作夥伴進行談判時向國會委員會提供談判文本，該法案第 7(c) 條將禁止美國貿易代表傳遞談判文本美國國會正在審查向台灣提交的文本。該法案第 7(c) 條進一步違反了INS 訴 Chadha案，賦予兩名國會議員權力，延長美國貿易代表辦公室向台灣提供文本之前所需的等待期。該法案第 7(d) 條要求將國會成員列為美國代表團的認可成員，他們有權獲得每日簡報，包括暫定協議的簡報。若該法案第 7 條的要求無端的侵犯憲法下我與外國夥伴進行談判的權力，我的政府將視這些要求不具有約束力。
