Can Bush take out what he does not want in the bill, leave the rest and then sign it? No, the line item veto was ruled unconstitutional.

Statement by the President
Like many Republicans and Democrats in the Congress, I support common-sense reforms to end abuses in our campaign finance system. The reforms passed today, while flawed in some areas, still improve the current system overall, and I will sign them into law.
The legislation makes some important progress on the timeliness of disclosure, individual contribution limits, and banning soft money from corporations and labor unions, but it does present some legitimate constitutional questions. I continue to believe the best reform is full and timely disclosure of campaign contributions.

The George W. Bush Lie
ABC News's This Week on January 23, 2000:
GEORGE F. WILL: I want to see if you agree with those who say it would be bad for the First Amendment? I know you're not a lawyer, you say that with some pride, but do you think a president, and we've got a lot of non-lawyer presidents, has a duty to make an independent judgment of what is and is not constitutional, and veto bills that, in his judgment, he thinks are unconstitutional?
GOV. BUSH: I do.
WILL: In which case, would you veto the McCain-Feingold bill, or the Shays-Meehan bill?
BUSH: That's an interesting question. I I yes I would.

George W. Bush: No Amnesty for Immigrants - "There's going to be no amnesty"
Bush Administration Wants to Extend Immigration "Amnesty"
President Bush yesterday called on the Senate to pass a bill that would grant amnesty to hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens

One year before his letter to Lott and one month after he published his own CFR plan that is identicle to his principles in the LOtt letter. Reagan considered his lack of a line item veto "unconstitutional" however he NEVER unilaterally tested it by using it. Did Reagan violate his oath? Did Reagan violate his oath by having his DOJ defend challenges to Roe v Wade in the courts? Did Reagan violate his oath by not disbanding the IRS? Did Reagan violate his oath by pushing for and signing a blanket amnesty? Did Reagan violate his oath by defending the CFR that was in effect while he was in office? When Bush gave that interview he was a candidate in a pitched battle with McCain. He was given a hypothetical question and he answered it. But to call it a lie is just a convenient ploy of those with an agenda. I have been around here long enough to know yours. I am just amazed that there are rational people around here that have joined you in your lunacy.

I am amazed, you still don't think he lied Texasforever? Seriously, you really don't think he lied? Amazing. George W. Bush lied. Stop torturing yourself. You've still got a good approval rating. Americans think CFR is a venereal disease.

Q Ari, campaign finance is getting ready to pass the Senate. Will the President sign this specific bill?
MR. FLEISCHER: When and if it passes the Senate, and I anticipate that it will, you'll have a written statement by the President answering that question.

Yes you are and I'm cheering you on. Bush seems to take most criticism in stride. He has a way of keeping all eyes on him to see what he's going to do next. 535 men and women in the House and 100 men and women in our Senate and who has all the attention. One man George "Dubya" Bush.
Determination, no matter what the critics say. He's man enough to admit he's made a rash judgement if need be.

You haven't given me a source or date, so I can only respond as I have all along.
The Senate passed it.
Campaign Finance Reform Passes Senate
And Bush said he will sign it. A written statement.

He did not lie, and he is not a liar. You, on the other hand, have posted excerpts out of context; while that's not a lie, it is misleading.

And I'm telling you that you will lose everything that you believe in if Blagojevich wins. But you will go your own way. Don't say I didn't warn you.
