line item

Under the Constitution, of course, there is no line-item veto; a president either signs or vetoes an entire bill.

But I'll tell you something, if you'll give me the line-item veto, I'll remove some of that unnecessary spending.

I also appeal to Congress to pass the line-item veto you promised the American people.

Give me the same thing 43 governors have--the line-item veto--and let me help you control spending.
