In my view. it is unwise. Mr. President. the case for a lineitem veto rests largely on the need to eliminate narrowly targeted porkbarrel spending. But the majority leaders amendment goes much further than that. It would allow the President to unilaterally eliminate funding for entire programs. This would give a single individual the power to kill major initiatives in education. law enforcement. health care. veterans programs. mass transit. immigration enforcement. housing. and you name it. All could be at risk. It would also put Medicare. veterans benefits. and other entitlement programs under the control of a small minority of Congress aligned with the President.
