We should have passed a line item veto years ago.

We did.

The Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional in a 6-3 decision with Rehnquist and Thomas in the majority. Scalia viewed the line item veto as unconstitutional but ruled that none of the parties had standing in the case.

Why does no one remember this? It made the papers.
