GWB: Who Does His Homework?
Line Item Veto? Hello?!
As part of the Contract with America, the Congress passed and presented President Clinton with line item veto power. In 1998 the Supreme Court of the United States struck down the line item veto as unconstitutional, meaning, if President Bush wants that power, then we have to adopt a constitutional Amendment on the matter. Of course I might feel bad for the President if he had used his regular veto power at all in the past three years, but he hasn't.
It just begs the question, in calling for a line item veto, who did the homework on that one...it was just 8 short years ago this transpired. This is leadership?
