A veto which is used to reject only specific items or parts of legislation passed by the Congress. The Congress attempted to give the President line-item veto authority in 1995; however, the Supreme Court ruled the effort unconstitutional because it transferred legislative authority from the Legislative Branch to the Executive Branch. It had been the hope of the Congress that the President would use the line-item veto to remove or lower excessive spending measures from legislation passed by Congress.
