First of all, IMO you are not going to get any changes to Obamacare that Obama himself doesn't want - if he doesn't have line-item veto power, he'll just veto the entire bill.

And second, from what I have read of the line-item veto proposal, it is limited to appropriations. And since spending originates in the House, the GOP already has good control over what is appropriated and what is not.

The real question...do you really want anymore power given to Obama?
