Couldn't the President have used his line item veto on these midnight additions to congresional bills?

When did the President get the power for line item veto? I must have missed something.

I recalled it passed with Clinton in office when I was in college...

But I just looked it up right now, and see the SCOTUS struck it down in '98. That explains it!
