The Line Item Veto must be a Constitutional Amendment as Congressional attempts have been shot down by the courts. If it is in the Constitution, it’s Constitutional. This would eliminate at least the other party’s pork and that’s a step in the right direction. As is stands now, the courts can throw out a part of a law, but the President cannot. That is inequitable.

What a great blog
Thanks Bethany. If you’d pass along this site to ten of your friends, I’d really appreciate it. It sounds corny, but I want to leave my nation a better place than I found it and my best tool is the written word.
If you are interested in buying The Accidental Senator, the first book in the series, here’s a discount code 6337SAVE that you can use to get 15% off. I don’t widely publicize it, but a portion of the proceeds goes to support autistic children.
