The line item veto will never be back, it should never have happened. Congress writes laws, not the executive. I'm with you on the rest of that.

>>Congress writes laws, not the executive

and the executive approves them, that is the check. If they created a Single Issue rule it would not be an issue anyway, but if they are going to have the ability to pass omnibus bills then a check on that is the line item veto, no line item veto not omnibus they should go hand in hand

It changes the meaning of the law as written.

The single issue rule does not stop omnibus spending bills (which is exactly what normal budget bills are.)
