The Line Item Veto Act of 1996 allowed the President to veto specific parts (or lines) of a spending bill passed by Congress, rather than having to veto the entire bill. This was seen as a way to control the tendency of Congress to overspend, as the President could eliminate individual expenditures that they deemed unnecessary or wasteful. However, the Supreme Court struck down the Line Item Veto Act in 1998, ruling that it violated the Presentment Clause of the Constitution.
