“The day after the Line Item Veto Act of 1996 passed, a group of U.S. senators challenged the bill in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. U.S. District Judge Harry Jackson, who was appointed to the bench by Republican President Ronald Reagan, declared the law unconstitutional on April 10, 1997. The U.S. Supreme Court, however, ruled the senators did not have standing to sue, tossing their challenge and restoring the line item veto power to the president.”
I was only referring to the final paragraph about the act of 2011 when I said I didn’t see it passing.
Sorry, I misunderstood.
My understanding is that H.R. 3521 (112th): Expedited Legislative Line-Item Veto and Rescissions Act of 2012 was passed by the House in 2012, but was not passed over to the Senate.
