6. This is way bigger than Smirk. The line item veto needs to be there for Democratic Presidents
Or do you really want a Democratic President to have to veto a bill that ends the war in Iraq, or provides everyone with free health care, or rebuilds New Orleans because there's a line in the bill requiring all gays be stripped of all rights of citizenship or some other "poison pill"?

on whether money should be spent on a particular issue. Then, he just send it back to the Senate for a final decision.":eyes: Riiiight. We're stupid enough to believe that.
