The line-item veto is the power of the top executive in government, either the president or a state governor, to sign a budget into law while striking out (lining out) certain expense items that the executive disfavors. This is favored by conservatives to reduce overall spending, but the U.S. Supreme Court held it to be unconstitutional at the federal level. Many state governors have this power.
