Signs Line Item Veto Act

On April 9, 1996, Bill Clinton signed the Line Item Veto Act, which granted the president the authority to veto specific provisions of a bill without vetoing the entire legislation. This power was intended to help control federal spending by allowing the president to remove unnecessary or excessive provisions in spending bills. However, the Supreme Court later ruled the law unconstitutional in 1998, stating that it violated the Presentment Clause of the U.S. Constitution. #BillClinton #LineItemVeto #FederalSpending #MoofLife
