Definition1/16
The Line Item Veto Act was signed into law by Pres. Bill Clinton on the 9th of April 1996. The line-item veto was designed to thwart the attempts of those who would attach unrelated items to bills, especially "pork barrel" items, by giving the Pres. the power to pass some parts of a bill and veto other parts. However, the U.S. Supreme Court declared the act to be unconstitutional, pointing out that the Constitution limited the President's choices to accepting or rejecting a bill.
