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”.

No, if that were the case, he’d just start line-item veto right now. What you’re saying is nonsense.
