If what's in the POTUS oath of office isn't good enough to restrict a President's actions re: Constitutionality, then having made some pledge in the middle of a campaign isn't going to make much of a difference, either.

In Hillary's case, except for her more rabid partisans, I think everybody else takes her signing this as a wink-wink-nudge-nudge "we all really know what she's going to do, but if signing this sways a few votes, hey, go for it; nobody's going to remember once she's in office anyway." kind of thing. Expediency in the name of obtaining power is a hallmark of the Clinton playbook, why should this be any different?

If she'd actually sponsored legislation on this, or made it a cornerstone of her platform, I'd be more inclined to believe it. But since Constitutionality isn't even mentioned on her campaign website under "issues"...well, color me skeptical.
