In California, the line item veto simply allows the Gov. to marginalize the legislature. Not good for the citizens -- easier and cheaper to kick reps around than guvs. Have you ever lived anywhere with a line item veto?

Clinton v. NY (the line-item veto case): the line-item veto is unconstitutional because of the presentment and bicameralism clauses (Art 1, sec. 7 cl. 2-3) requiring the approval of both houses and presentment to the president in order to pass a bill. This not only protects against a president's unchecked power but allows smaller populated states in the Senate to maintain an equal voice with larger states. agree with theBhc, Bush thinks laws are just suggestions and its not surprising that Bush wants to disrupt the checks and balances of our government.
