This is what Congressman BillBob posted on another thread regarding a "secret plan":

I am privy to some inside information which I am not at liberty to discuss until after this bill reaches the President's desk and he decides what to do with it. However, if he calls a press conference to announce his decision, and the only people who are present with him at that time are Attorney General Ashcroft and Solicitor General Olson, then pay close attention to what is about to happen.

The action taken then and there by President Bush will be something that every President has had the power to do from the beginning, but no President has ever done before, He will deal with this bill in a way no other bill has ever been dealt with. And I think that the members of FreeRepublic will be satisfied with the result.

Do not ask questions for more details because I cannot give them. Suffice to say that the proposed plan of action for that moment, if that is Bush's choice, has passed my eyes.

As the Archangel Micheal (John Travolta) in Michael says, when asked "How do you know that?" he replies, "I pay attention."

Is the "secret plan" to potentially line-item veto part of the bill? I thought the test case would be an appropriations bill, not some other type of legislation.

He's probably talking "line-item veto". In which case, it will be in USSC immediately. The only other option Bush has other than signing will be "pocket veto". But, that would be the same (in this day and age of media) as vetoing it outright.
