What "checks and balances" from the US Constitution did GWB "remove".....?"

Under the Constitution, Congress has the sole authority to make laws. The President has the power and responsibility to execute them. He doesn't have the power to just disregard laws, like Bush did on many occasions.


As an example, presidential signing statements became de rigueur in the Bush WH.
