Bush to offer line-item veto, White House says
Posted on: Monday, 6 March 2006, 09:45 CST
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush will announce legislation on Monday requesting a line-item veto -- the power to cancel specific items within spending bills, the White House said.
White House spokesman Scott McClellan said the proposal was written in a way to head off problems raised by the U.S. Supreme Court when it rejected as unconstitutional a previous version of the line-item veto in 1998.
