Line-item Veto Act
This is an old revision of this page, as edited by SharonS (talk | contribs) at 14:02, October 10, 2007. It may differ significantly from current revision.
The Line-item veto act of 1996 allowed the president to cross out parts of a bill he did not want, rather than veto the entire bill. In 1998 in Clinton v. City of New York, the Line-item veto act was found unconstitutional because it allowed the president to amend legislation.[1]
