How Trump gets a line-item veto
"President
Trump has been criticized for passing a larded-up budget, but it's not
that simple to get a balanced budget. One way is with the line-item
veto, but to achieve this will take some careful strategizing. Here is
how it works:
A presidential line-item veto
requires an amendment to the Constitution, which Congress will never
propose. Passing such a law would take a two-thirds vote in both House
and Senate, and it’s far beyond reach. What is within reach is
proposing a line-item veto amendment through the constitutional
alternative -- through the states, using Article V of the
Constitution. "
