Dems only had a slight majority in Congress --- especially in the 2nd term.

Why didn't Reagan veto?

...now who is rewriting history?

I remember Reagan begging for "line item veto authority",,,,,

Excellent point. I had forgotten that, and Reagan always cited the line item veto as one of the main reasons for his success in California in running a budget surplus. I take it that Presidents still do not have line item veto capability?

Regards, Huey
