The last thing we need is the Executive rewriting legislation that has passed through Congress, broken as that Congress may be. Fix the legislature if you think the legislature is broken. You don't further skew what little remains of the separation of powers.
- to11mtm 6y agoHmm, What if it was made such where the president 'line-items' it, but the vetoed version still has to go back to the House and Senate to Re-Approve? This has advantages over the current practice, where if a president wants a line-item struck they more or less have to veto the whole thing, and that is how the news can/would report it. Contrast to the optics of an 'item-strike', where it is more natural to report that the Executive branch 'almost' supports it, but it's up to the House and Senate to decide whether %STIMULUS_PACKAGE% really needs a 20 year copyright extension rider.
