Obama doesn't have line item power as I understand it. Can't fund new anti-poverty programs without Congressional appropriation. Also constitutional questions are being raised about Obama's authority to unilaterally "amend" the AFCA (start date roll back for some portions of the program) without Congressional approval. May be heading to the courts on his actions on such.
