Supreme Court strikes down Line Item Veto Act
The Supreme Court invalidates the 1994 Line Item Veto Act ruling that presidents cannot veto specific spending items within a bill. Justices Kennedy and Scalia provide pivotal opinions, with Kennedy noting restraint on excessive spending and Scalia arguing the title misleads about Veto power. The decision affects the Contract with America provisions and prior vetoed items from Clinton era measures.
