Bill 119 hjres 8, also known as the Line Item Veto Amendment, proposes an amendment to the Constitution of the United States that would grant the President certain line item veto authority. This means that the President would have the power to veto specific provisions or "line items" within a piece of legislation without having to veto the entire bill.
The purpose of this amendment is to give the President more control over government spending by allowing them to eliminate wasteful or unnecessary provisions from bills passed by Congress. Proponents of the amendment argue that it would help reduce government waste and inefficiency, while opponents argue that it could potentially give the President too much power and disrupt the balance of power between the executive and legislative branches.
If passed, this amendment would require a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, as well as ratification by three-fourths of the states. As of now, the bill is still in the early stages of the legislative process and has not yet been voted on by Congress.
