Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Line-Item Veto, a Constitutional Approach: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on the Constitution, Federalism, and Property Rights of the Committee on the Judiciary, United States Senate, One Hundred Fourth Congress, First Session; January 24, 1995
This issue is about keeping our fiscal house in order. It is not a partisan issue. In fact, both Sen. Thurmond and Sen. Simon, the ranking member of this sub committee, are supporters of the line item veto and have introduced their own reso lutions calling for a constitutional amendment to provide a Line Item Veto.
The President has also endorsed the idea of the Line Item Veto. I read an Op Ed by Sen. Kennedy, also a member of this subcommittee, suggesting in 1984 that the President be given the power to use the Line Item Veto.
With a federal debt of trillion and annual deficits in the hundreds of billions of dollars, it is clear that this country needs to get a handle on spending. We now have a debt load which threatens not only this generation but those to come. It is Simply irresponsible to repeatedly lard every spending bill with parochial, pork bar rel spending.
