"If I'm not mistaken, Presidents beginning with Bill Clinton have access to the line-item veto."

My understanding was that the line-item veto did not get passed, although Clinton was in favor of it. Of course, during Clinton's time, I was not as politically aware. Do you have a source so that I could 'catch up'?

If I remember correctly (and I might not, since I haven't had my morning whisky)the line item veto was either never passed or it was ruled unconstitutional.

I was mistaken, and the correct information is provided at post #255.
