This Line Item Veto Will Be Used Responsibly

By Wash. GOP Rep. Doc Hastings - 06/22/06 10:01 AM ET
I live in a state where the governor has had a line item veto.  I've seen Republican and Democratic Chief Executives use it responsibly.

That said, this is a much narrower application.  This process gives Congress its last say, since it has to act on expedited rescissions that the President would send.  I'm confident giving the executive that power.
