Sadly, no.

It’s not like it’s a secret or anything.

In regards to the line item veto, I believe the Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional a number of years ago.

No. Sadly. There have been many discussions on this.

For the millionth time, NO. Struck down by the Supreme Court decades ago.

No, he does not have the line item veto. He should have. Many efforts over the years to implement it, but it has always failed. Wonder why? /sar
