Exactly. The very least atleast list all the crap they are trying to sneak in. Dems are going to run to reporters saying “he wants to kill people!” BS

Unconstitutional. SCOTUS had a case addressing this issue(I wanna say under Reagan) and argued that it essentially gave the President the power of the purse. (violation of Art. I)

Congress passed a line-item veto during Clinton’s term, but the SCOTUS struck it down.

It was passed into law. Bill Clinton actually used it. Some pork-swilling REPUBICAN Member of Congress did not like seeing his slush fund being cut and he sued. SCOTUS ruled it unconstitutional.
