I'm pretty sure I remember hearing something about Bill Clinton and a line item veto? Wasn't that a flap at some point in his administration? I know he didn't actually have it, but I think the Democrats wanted to give it to him, didn't they?

A Republican Congress passed a law to give Bill Clinton that power in order to reduce the deficit, SCOTUS ruled it unconstitutional.

God could you loving imagine if Bush had that power.

I like seeing the GOP on the defensive. It’s nice that a story about AOCs hair has all I’ve heard of the Dems not related to impeachment the past two weeks

So I guess we have pretty good odds of seeing Giuliani arrested in the next few days if he thought he was going to be caught up in this bust.

For many years the GOP wanted a line item veto for the president so the (often Republican) president could blow up budget deals struck in Congress (which democrats dominated after 1939 until 1995). When Clinton was president, it finally passed. However, the line item veto violates the presentment clause and is thus unconstitutional. But that doesn’t apply to the state lawmaking process, which isn’t governed by the federal constitution.

IIRC generally campaigns buy the rights to huge chunks of music via the megacorps that own them, so the artists don't have much more they can do but say "eat poo poo and die".
