Trump calls for line-item veto of spending bills, which has been deemed unconstitutional.
Line-Item Veto Act of 1996
Main article: Line Item Veto Act of 1996
Presidents of the United States have repeatedly asked the Congress to give them a line-item veto power.[10] According to Louis Fisher in The Politics of Shared Power, Ronald Reagan said to Congress in his 1986 State of the Union address, "Tonight I ask you to give me what forty-three governors have: Give me a line-item veto this year. Give me the authority to veto waste, and I'll take the responsibility, I'll make the cuts, I'll take the heat." Bill Clinton echoed the request in his State of the Union address in 1995.[11] Congress attempted to grant this power to the president by the Line Item Veto Act of 1996 to control "pork barrel spending", but in 1998 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the act to be unconstitutional in a 6-3 decision in Clinton v. City of New York. The court found that exercise of the line-item veto is tantamount to a unilateral amendment or repeal by the executive of only parts of statutes authorizing federal spending, and therefore violated the Presentment Clause of the United States Constitution. As a result, it appears that a federal line-item veto will only be possible through amendment of the US Constitution. Prior to that ruling, President Clinton applied the line-item veto to the federal budget 82 times.[12][13]
Though the Supreme Court struck down the Line-Item Veto Act in 1998, President George W. Bush asked the Congress to enact legislation that would return the line-item veto power to the Executive Authority. First announcing his intent to seek such legislation in his January 31, 2006 State of the Union address, President Bush sent a legislative proposal, the Legislative Line-Item Veto Act of 2006, to the Congress on March 6, 2006, urging its prompt passage. Senators Bill Frist (R-TN) and John McCain (R-AZ), and Republican Whip Senator Mitch McConnell (KY) jointly introduced this proposal. Representative Paul Ryan (R-WI) introduced his own version, the Legislative Line Item Veto Act of 2006, in March of that year.[14]
On that same day, Joshua Bolton, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, gave a press conference on the President’s line-item veto proposal. Bolten explained that the proposed Act would give the President the ability to single out "wasteful" spending and to put such spending on hold. While the spending line-item is on hold, the President can send legislation to Congress to withdraw the particular line-item. The proposal would then be considered in both houses within ten days on an up or down basis, and could be passed by a simple majority. Additionally, such proposals could not be filibustered.

I honestly do not think that even the republicans would give Trump any for m of line item veto right now.
Trump signs omnibus bill. I have come to the conclusion I will not vote again in any election . Republicans would of put up a fight if Hillary were president .....she might as well be .sad day for all our futures and my kids .
The game is rigged it's all a joke we the people are slaves .

He just did the opposite of why I voted for him . Wall? There will never be a wall ! Schmuck Shoemer got billions for a tunnel to NJ that nobody wants or can pay for . Trump got some broader fencing . Today he signed his own impeachment, nobody in their right mind would vote for a Republican again ,they can do nothing .you don’t like it cuz there’s no money for the wall?

thing is, the people who will be killed by John Bolton's choices / policies are the young men and women in the military, many of whose parents were Trump supporters.

My prediction about Trump supporters beginning to say that Trump is not really a republican seem to be right on track...
Eh? Did anyone ever believe he was a "real Republican"?
Ahh just like with the Bush only sooner.
And just like with the Bush he now needs a war to boost his ratings.
Apparently Trump is a Porn Star?
The Trumpy Bare commercial was right!
A Stormy is coming!

The mountain has fallen on him he is burried in scandel real or made up .He has everyone against him even his own party the swamp is so deep there is no bottom it can never be drained when the alligators are in charge of draining it that's their home their feeding ground .

Unless he lies under oath his affairs are nothing impeachable.
Republicans are to afraid and spineless to be vengeful I wish they were vengeful they could of turned things around , but you can't solve a problem with the same mind that created the problem .

Yep they are a fear motivated bunch overall.
It was what got Trump elected. And past the primary to be eligible to be elected.
Does not matter for what , he wasn't supposed to win .why do you think they went with a known fake report to wiretap his campaign? The alleged Russian spy Carter page that the tap was for has never been charged with anything ? They will make a crime to impeach, and send the message only elite chosen can be president , the money and scams are too high to allow someone not in the club to be let in .

Honestly?
I do not give a rats ass about South Africa.
I care about the USA.
We have plenty to work on correcting right here.
Really don't care about people suffering or being mistreated? Aren't you the one saying we only hurt Brown people as a country? We hate illegals because they are Brown?
Oh I get it it's white people so who cares . They aren't people.
no worry Trump will be gone soon and the world will be right!
Now let's get back to spending our kids future and getting people back on the government tit !
And Stormy has some big ones !

But I am speaking of brown people HERE or in one of our colonial outposts.
Your keyword being immigrants.
WE cannot be the moral cops for the world. We cannot even keep our own house in order.
And refused to sign on to the treaty of not using incendiary weapons such as napalm or WP on civilian areas...
Many other such moral issues with the USA.
Trump will be gone soon?
What about his reelection which he is officially campaigning for?
Since most of you don’t do social media, let me share this thread..
It can be tempting to regard Jared Kushner as a little twerp, an undeserving nebbish who bought his way into Harvard yet somehow gets to boink Ivanka and also run the country. Let’s put that stupid narrative aside.
Kushner is arguably the most egregious lawbreaker & evildoer in all of Trump’s Cell Bock D of an administration. He is more criminal mastermind than schlemiel. Not a GOOD criminal mastermind, but still. What is already publicly known is enough to convict him many times over.
Kushner is so secretive, he’s basically the J.D. Salinger of the Trump Administration. The media likes to present him as a Boy Wonder, and his milquetoast-ness as a noble virtue. Remember this fawning Forbes profile?
Yeah, so, per Forbes, Kushner headed the Trump campaign’s social media organization, which got a huge bump in June of 2016, right after he hired Cambridge Analytica.
The #CamAnal details will dribble out soon, but we will learn that there was careful coordination between Trump Org, CA, the Erik Prince network, and the Russians.
Kushner was in charge, JUST AS PENCE WAS IN CHARGE OF THE TRANSITION TEAM. Top dogs don't get a pass.
Finally PENCE is mentioned, been saying it, how come pence is getting a pass?!!
Kushner lied a bunch of times on his SF-86 form. Lying on that form confers a prison term of five years (or is it 10? I’m not a laywer).
Before joining the campaign, Kushner was the head of his family real estate business, and savvily purchased a white elephant of a NYC building for a gajillion bucks, right before the market went kaplooey.
Smart move, Harvard boy!
Kushner now needs a new loan of $1.5 billion…or is it $1.3?...whatever, it’s more than the GDP of some small nations. And he’s been using his influence w/Trump to try and wangle a new deal.
Kushner asked Qatar for a loan. Hey, they have money, right? Qatar told him to pound sand. And what do you know? He quietly arranged for a blockade of that country. A country where the US has military bases.
[This sounds like a character arc on SCANDAL].
Kushner has also been on his knees before the Russians, begging for an infusion of dirty rubles to keep his family business afloat. (This may be literal, too, and not just figurative, for all I know…Kislyak the Hutt looks like he’s not fussy).
Here’s a run-down of Kushner’s meetings with the Putinists (that we know of):
27 April, 2016: Mayflower Hotel, Washington
At his VIP-only foreign policy speech, Trump promises a “good deal” for Russia. Kislyak attends, in breach of protocol. Kushner set this event up!
9 June, 2016: Trump Tower, New York (“I’d Love It”)
Donald Trump, Jr. arranges a meeting with the Russian attorney Natalia Veselnitskya, who promises “dirt” on Hillary Clinton. Kushner is there, because of course he is.
18–21 July, 2016: Republican National Convention, Cleveland
Exactly one change is made to the long Republican platform, aligning the GOP’s official position on Ukraine/Crimea with Putin’s.
1–2 December, 2016: Trump Tower, New York
Kushner & Flynn meet with Kislyak; Kushner proposes an embassy backchannel, which even Sergei is surprised by.
13–14 December, 2016: [undisclosed], New York (?)
Jared Kushner meets somewhere near Newark Airport with Sergei Gorkov, CEO of Vnesheconombank, or VEB, the state bank of Russia. Is he begging for a loan? What form does the begging take?
And now we have the Saudi prince bragging about how Kushner is his bitch. And other countries saying that Kushner’s money problems can be exploited.
In short, Kushner has used his position as Trump’s senior adviser/proxy Ivanka fucker for his own personal gain, EVEN WHEN HIS PERSONAL INTERESTS RUN COUNTER TO THOSE OF THE UNITED STATES.
He is the epitome of state corruption.
When the indictments against Kushner are unsealed—not IF but WHEN—it might be tempting to revert to the narrative of him as Boy Wonder. “He’s quiet, so he must be ok.” “He’s not THAT bad.”
Bullshit. This guy is a fucking traitor, and he should hang.
PS Let’s not forget that Kushner is married to Ivanka. If MY wife did all of these things, the FBI may well arrest me, too, from benefiting from it all.

Shit you will never hear/read from FAUX NEWS!
