My understanding of the line item veto is that it can only be used on appropriations bills to cut spending items. I'll look up the provision and post when I have it.Quote:

Approval of Bills; Vetoes
Section 15.
Every bill which shall have passed both Houses shall be presented to the Governor; if he approves he shall sign it, but if he shall not approve he shall return it with his objections to the House in which it shall have originated, which House shall enter the objections at large upon their journal, and proceed to re-consider it. If after such re-consideration, two-thirds of all the members elected to that House shall agree to pass the bill, it shall be sent with the objections to the other House by which likewise it shall be re-considered, and if approved by two-thirds of all the members elected to that House it shall be a law; but in such cases the votes of both Houses shall be determined by yeas and nays, and the names of the members voting for and against the bill shall be entered on the journals of each House, respectively. If any bill shall not be returned by the Governor within ten days after it shall have been presented to him, the same shall be a law in like manner as if he had signed it, unless the General Assembly, by their adjournment, prevent its return, in which case it shall be a law, unless he shall file the same, with his objections, in the office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth, and give notice thereof by public proclamation within thirty days after such adjournment.
Partial Disapproval of Appropriation Bills
Section 16.
The Governor shall have power to disapprove of any item of any bill, making appropriations of money, embracing distinct items, and the part or parts of the bill approved shall be the law, and the item or items of appropriation disapproved shall be void, unless re-passed according to the rules and limitations prescribed for the passage of other bills over the Executive veto.
EXPLANATION OF VETO POTENTIAL:
1. He signs it > its law
2. He doesent sign it > 10 session days pass > its law
3. He doesnt sign it > session ends > 30 days pass > its law
4. He vetos it > session is out of time to override > it is dead
*HE DOES NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO LINE-ITEM-VETO THIS TYPE OF LEGISLATION. HE CAN ONLY DO THAT WITH FISCAL LEGISLATION
.
If session times out or he pocket vetos it, can it be re-introduced at a later time?
Thank you for a very clear post!:)Quote:
