President Bush on Wednesday asked the Democratic-controlled Congress to give the White House line-item veto power to control spending. Dear President Bush:
Before asking for a line-item veto, first try using the old-fashioned all-or-nothign kind of veto more often to see if that will suffice.

Why start now W? Should have been worried about spending for the last 6 years.

Say... hasn't this "line item veto" issue come up again and again? It seems like I remember years ago that the general consensus was that Presidents had it, they just couldn't use it, or something bizarre like that. What's the deal with that? Can someone tell me in very short words, because it's early and I'm barely with it.
To: KantianBurke
This is funny. If President Bush believes he will get a line item veto out of his bunch he has totally lost his mind.

LMAO! So now George wants to hold the line on spending?? Gee, where has he been the last six years?? The Democrats will double dare him to veto popular spending bills. And I have to wonder if the President, after all this time, can even find his veto pen, much less than use it.

Say... hasn't this "line item veto" issue come up again and again? Congress tried granting this power in the 1990s, Clinton tried using it, and SCOTUS said no dice - Congress could not give away its enumerated powers without a Constitutional Amendment.

Ah, let's see George. A half a trillion in Iraq, wanted ten billion for unemployment for Iraqis, secretly tripling aid to Africa, secret Social Security benefits for illegal Mexicans, American troops in Somalia. It's not girls gone wild, it's George gone wild.

You know Bush will sign Democrat-passed bills that give amnesty to millions of illegals and create a guest-worker program. And those bills will end up costing us billions upon billions of dollars.

In 1998 the Supreme Court ruled that line item veto was unconstitutional. I don't know if that is what you were trying to recall.

CNN fails to remark on the Earmark spending the Democrats love so much and the need for Earmark Reform that the President proposed
