Bush Urges Senate To Pass Line-Item Veto Posted by Matt Blogs for Bush President Bush, in call for the Senate to pass the line-item veto, also criticized House Democrats who didn't support the House bill even thought they claim to be interested in restraining federal spending... <<< A line-item veto would allow the president to cut certain provisions in spending bills without vetoing the entire measure. The House passed such legislation last week 247-172. Thirty-five Democrats joined with most Republicans in voting for the bill. "I was disappointed, frankly, though that more Democrats didn't vote for the bill, especially those that are calling for fiscal discipline in Washington, D.C.," Bush said in a speech to members of the Manhattan Institute, a conservative think tank based in New York. "I mean, you can't call for fiscal discipline on the one hand and then not pass a tool to enhance fiscal discipline on the other hand. You can't have it both ways, it seems like to me." >>> With so few Democrats in the House voting for the line-item veto, the Democrats have made this a partisan issue. Nevertheless, Bush and the Republicans are the ones on the right side of this issue, and if the vote in the Senate is similarly partisan, Democrats will have totally lost any standing to criticize Bush and the Republicans over spending. blogsforbush.com apnews.myway.com
