Trump: I will send back to Congress a redlined version, item by item, accompanied by the formal rescission request to Congress insisting that those funds be removed from the bill.

Which means absolutely nothing.

The Line Item Veto does not exist at the Presidential level. Every President asks for it (Reagan did all the time), but Congress will NEVER grant that. Budgets and legislation are all, or nothing.

Trump's "request" and "insisting" goes right in the circular file.

Not a line item veto, see post 132

No, he invoked the 1979 Impoundment Act which is in effect similar to a line item veto because this Congress adjourns January 3.

Smart move by the President.

But you will see the scumbag media gaslight anyone fool enough to listen to them that the President caved.
