house 01/03/2025 - 119th Congress
We're working to propose a constitutional amendment that grants the President line item veto power, allowing them to selectively reduce specific appropriations in legislation. This aims to enhance fiscal responsibility by enabling more precise control over spending, while still allowing Congress the option to disapprove any reduction with a two-thirds vote.
