What's a Live Item Veto--the President gets to veto any item in the budget involving living things?
Is everyone here having a group nervous breakdown over these "We're doomed!" articles being posted?

If you've opened this thread it means that you agree with the topic and you want to know "what can I do about it?" Hello, what? I opened this thread to see what you had to say, not to agree to some kind of contract.

Congress will use THEIR line item veto and strike that particular provision from the bill, denying the president of the same power. If congress has strong feelings on a particular issue that the president vetoed, they can always overide his veto by a 2/3 majority vote.

Nobody's doomed or see's it this way. What Americans are tired of are stupid small laws being passed under the cover of more important laws. Such as what happened yesterday with the Port security bill.
included with the bill was a completely unrelated issue, On line gaming, which is now illegal. Why was a gambling issue tucked into a National security issue? thats why we need to be allowed to have Line-Item-Veto's (LIV)

Hi FRPFriends. If you've opened this thread it means that you agree with the topic and you want to know "what can I do about it?" Actually, no ... I opened the thread to see if you were a troll.
By the way, it's Lie, Nitemv, Eto.

"There's an open road from the cradle to the tomb" But there are two roads that lead FROM the tomb. One leads to eternal life, and the other to eternal destruction. Unfortunately, wide is the road and wide is the gate that leads to destruction and many are they that will find it, but narrow is the road and narrow the gate that leads to eternal life, and few are they that will find it.

If you want the government's nose out of your everday life, get rid of the New Deal Commerce Clause.

Well as Americans, we can start a law by getting signatures to require our idea onto a ballot. start it that way. but we'd need it to happen all across the us to make it a national idea correct?

Getting rid of the New Deal Commerce Clause starts not by creating more laws, but giving up some. Everyone has their favorite piece of the New Deal legacy. The first step is to recognize that and start by getting our own house in order. IMHO.

The statement is correct that possession of the line item veto by Presidents, a power possessed by most Governors, would drastically improve the federal government. (In the right hands, however.)
The article is dead wrong to criticize the Supreme Court for striking down the legislatively-created line item veto. The powers of the President are as granted by the Constitution. Congress has no power to amend the Constitution. (Neither does the Supreme Court, either.)
Therefore, to create the needed line item veto it is necessary to amend the Constitution.
