New There shouldn't be a need for line item veto
There should be a constitutional amendment put in place requiring each legislative act to be voted on >by itself<.

And end to pork barrel politics forever.

New You'd need one more thing:
All votes are "on the record."
After 9/11, Bush made two statements:
1. "Terrorists hate America because America is a land of freedom and opportunity."
2. "We intend to attack the root causes of terrorism."

Sounds like everything is going according to plan.
New Hear! Hear! To both of you!

New I like the idea
I like the idea but it would be a hard one to put into action. The trick then becomes defining 'act' in way that can be enforced.

But heck, if the chance came up, I would support that. It can't be any worse then the current system.

New Its already the law in alot of states.
It makes the act of legislating simple and >easy for everyone to understand<

Thats why you'll never see it at the fed level.

Good old Sen Byrd from my homestate wouldn't get half his pork projects if he couldn't plug him into some completely unrelated bill.
