Line item veto was pushed by Reagan when he was in office because democrats had so much pork and bad laws hidden in bills put on his desk. The GOP thought it a good idea and gave Klinton the power through law to use the line item veto, which he did. However, some liberal group sued and challenged the line item veto in court and the Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional.
Correct
The new idea for the line item veto is to knock off the pork spending and then send it back for another vote before being passed into law
Thanks for the line-item recap. I just couldn't recall what happened, and no one summarizes like Freepers!
