The Line Item Veto Act
The Line Item Veto Act After One Year
Author:
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The Line Item Veto Act, which took effect on January 1, 1997 (and expires eight years later), marks a significant milestone in the federal budget process. It enables the President, for the first time, to cancel individual spending or tax-benefit provisions in legislation passed by the Congress without having to veto the entire legislation. (Because the President must first sign the legislation before canceling provisions, his cancellation authority does not represent a true item veto, despite its name). The President's cancellations take effect immediately and can be reversed only by a subsequent law. After a year, opinion about the act remains sharply divided. Proponents view the President's cancellation authority as a significant tool for eliminating wasteful spending or tax provisions and maintaining fiscal discipline. Opponents see it as an unconstitutional delegation of legislative authority to the executive branch. In February 1998, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia declared the act unconstitutional on the grounds that it violates the Constitution's separation of powers doctrine. The Supreme Court has scheduled oral arguments on the case for late April and is expected to make a mling sometime this year.

Item Veto and Expanded Impoundment Proposals
Author: Virginia A. McMurtry
Publisher: DIANE Publishing
ISBN: 1437936245
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 32
Book Description
Conflicting budget priorities of the Pres. and Congress accentuate the tensions between the exec. and legis. branches inherent in the fed. budget process. Impoundment, whereby a Pres. withholds or delays the spending of funds appropriated by Congress, provides a mechanism for budgetary control during budget implementation in the exec. branch; but Congress retains oversight responsibilities. Many Pres. have called for an item veto, or expanded impoundment authority, to provide them with greater control over fed. spending. Contents of this report: Brief History of Impoundment: Controversies Increase; Impoundment Control Act of 1974; Alternative to an Item Veto; Evolution of Expanded Rescission Proposals; Line Item Veto Act of 1996.
