Your question doesn;t make sense. The constitution doesn;t grant line item authority. The whole bill is either signed, allowed to lapse or vetoed.

My point was that congress passed a line item veto when Clinton was in office and the courts declared it unconstitutional. Someone had stated that the courts never get involved in the legislative process. I asked the question to point out that it is simply not true that the courts are not involved.
