The US House of Representatives passed H.R. 4890, the Legislative Line-Item Veto Act of 2006, by an overwhelming margin of 247-172! The bill will allow the President to strike individual spending items and special-interest tax breaks from legislation, giving him a vital tool to restore fiscal discipline. Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), the bill's sponsor, told Tom Schatz of Citizens Against Government Waste, "Once 'House members' realized that the public was paying attention to [the legislation] and taxpayer groups cared, we turned their votes." ..
