The Congress tends to guard its powers very jealously, now more so than ever. There's nothing wrong with the president educating the public about the line-item veto. But any president has really got to be prepared to use the veto power he already has.
The good news is that Congress has repealed the death tax, the bad news is the president says he's going to veto it, ... But the good news is Bill Clinton is not going to be president next year.
