What have I missed here? And why would they vote to give the king any more power than he has already taken?

in a rare display of bipartisanship

Hardly rare since they've done nothing this entire time but kiss his behind.

I wonder what the GOOBers have been smoking. They need to spread some around to the taxpayers.

Paul Ryan backed this??? Need a much more complete explanation. Giving Obama more power is madness.

Why the heck would the House send Obama a bill where he can select what he wants or not?

Why give Obama a line-item veto power when the Dems won’t even give him a budget to use it on?

Why these guys would give BO any more power at all is beyond me.

Please, Senate Republicans, kill this idiocy.

The House voted 254-173, with 57 Democrats joining Republicans in favoring the bill, which allows the president to propose elimination of individual items in spending legislation and subject them to a separate, second vote by Congress.

Not exactly a line item veto, but more a presidential power to require a second vote on specific items. Didn't see anything that would require anything more than a majority vote to agree or disagree during a second vote.

This is a friggin' Constitutional DISASTER!

Every yes vote must be removed from office.

This is likely to pass the Senate and would certainly be signed by POTUS.

This makes sense.

Now Obama’s got zero excuses for not passing a budget. Congress sends it to him, and he vetoes the stuff he wants to veto.

It then goes back to Congress for a second vote. As such, it isn’t really a veto, in that it doesn’t get overriden.

The stuff he wants to cut goes into a bill, or several bills for up and down votes.

I don’t see a problem with this.
