Clinton challenges Line Item Veto Act's constitutionality (Washington, D.C., USA) 1998
In a bold move to assert executive power, President Bill Clinton signed the Line Item Veto Act in 1996, allowing him to selectively cut items from spending bills without vetoing the entire legislation. However, this unprecedented authority was short-lived as six members of Congress, including Republican Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, sued Clinton, arguing the Act violated the Presentment Clause of the Constitution. The Supreme Court agreed, declaring the Act unconstitutional in a 6-3 decision, with Justice Scalia writing that the Act "alter[ed] the structure of the federal government" and trespassed on Congress's legislative authority. This landmark ruling has significant implications for the balance of power between the executive and legislative branches.
