Yes, I do, both for the POTUS and all 50 governors, although it’s more important at the federal level, and some governors already have it. As far as lib governors (or lib presidents, for that matter), I don’t want those, period, but having one of those is a risk I take in a democracy.

We can agree to disagree then. The idea of our Republic is that the people (in the form of statehouses and Congress) write the bills, the executive signs them into law. Allowing a single person to remove whichever parts of a bill they want is a really, really bad idea. Also, there’s no way this power would stop at “remove”. Eventually that power would grow into “change” or “add”.
