Burying unrelated stuff in a bill is among the worst of our legislative practices. We need a line-item veto.

A line-item veto would be a great idea for knocking unrelated garbage like this item out of a relief bill, but it was already shot down by the Supreme Court, and as far as I can tell, there is nothing in the Constitution authorizing such. You either sign the whole thing or veto it or let it either die or become law without acting, depending on when you do that.
