(And I say: if you are going to have to amend the Constitution ANYWAY, why not go ahead and just do the complete job? Approve the Balanced Budget Amendment and the problem is solved.) Or, if you prefer, approve BOTH the Balanced Budget amendment AND the Line Item veto amendment at the exact same time. I'm OK with that --- just don't leave out the real cure to persistent deficit over-spending: the Balanced Budget amendment.
