Legislative Line Item Veto Act

109th Congress, 2nd Session

June 22, 2006

The bill authorizes the President to delete individual provisions of appropriations acts and tax and entitlement laws which he signs. This is a form of the line item veto which Republicans have long sought and which enhances presidential power as against Congress. The bill was approvided by a vote of 247-172 (14 not voting) with the support of 35 Democrats. Eighteen of those Democrats were members of the Blue Dog Coalition, and two (Rep. Harold Ford and Rep. Al Wynn) were members of the Congressional Black Caucus. Details are in the table below which can be sorted by column by clicking on Sort in a given column.
