    line item veto doesn’t exist and congress had veto proof majorities…

      that’s just false. the Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act which repealed glass-steagall passed the senate with 54 votes, which is a LONG way away from being veto-proof.

      glass steagall can hardly be reduced to a “line item”. he could have vetoed the entire bill and told congress to send him something without repealing glass-steagall.
