Although no president has even a line-item veto power (which 44 governors have), this president asserts the power to revise the language of laws by enforcement discretion, and suggests no limiting principle. I remember Reagan's argument for line-item veto. Looks like even he made some mistaken political judgments, considering who his successor is. I give credit to Will for making the conceptual connection as it is the first time I've seen the analogy.
