If Line Item Veto is Enacted, Who Needs a Congress?

By N.Y. Dem. Rep. Charles Rangel - 06/22/06 09:48 AM ET
The only thing we have left is the power of the purse. Vice President Cheney has even been openly saying how the executive has enhanced its legislative power, such that they can break the fist of the Federal Intelligence Surveillance Act and no one challenges them.

Once they take away the power of the purse, I don't think we need a Congress.
