What is the executive power to veto specific items included in a piece of legislation without vetoing the whole piece of legislation?
Colean
The power of the "line item veto" is implied when a legislature leaves a blank signature space next to portions and monetary appropriations on a final bill sent to the executive. The Chairman, President, Governor, or other executive can choose not to sign sections of the bill which are vetoed while the signed sections become law. This was judged unconstitutional for the President of the United States under President Clinton:
