"Could be a valid argument for line item veto too."

The Supreme Court ruled that law to be an UNCONSTITUTIONAL delegation of Congress' budget authority.

So, it will require an amendment to the US Constitution to grant a President line item veto power.

So, if we are going to do that... why not just pass a Balanced Budget amendment, and be *done with* the problem of government over-spending?

(Or, pass BOTH amendments at the same time?)
