The thing about line item vetos is it gives that power to the next President, who could be a Democrat. Then he can go about taking all the common sense out of legislation. I suspect that is why it has never passed. Nobody ever wants to give that power to the "other guy."

IIRC, it actually was passed once, but the Supreme Court struck it down.
