They sent me a law against torture.
I signed it, although it was quaint.
I said, though, that I'm the decider

I'll do what I want when I want to,
Though Congress's will may be foiled.

You see, I'm a little bit spoiled.

Except through a court. They were blunt.
I signed that, but said in a statement
We'll open whatever we want.
