We need that line item veto. I loved to hear how that was found unconstitutional. SCOTUS sucks. Affirmative Action is a clear violation of the Constitution equal protection clause. SO if the can do that then screw all of their rulings.
The Constitution sez a President can sign, veto, or withhold his signature from a bill - AS WRITTEN BY THE LEGISLATORS. THAT’S IT.
Any change to the text of a bill renders it as NOT having been passed by Congress. This includes insertions and deletions - even punctuation.
Therefore, absent a Constitutional Amendment, the line item veto is invalid.
