finally try and get the Line Item Veto passed? We haven’t had a budget since Lincoln, so why don’t we go all in for something that seems to have been forgotten about completely?

Go for it, on Policiesforpeople.com, the website suggested by RFK Jr with a guarantee that Trump, he and Musk would see it iirc.
I personally think that line-item veto strips a lot of power from the legislature. And it can easily be abused. It sounds great when Congress is full of obnoxious idiots who do nothing (i.e. the last 50 years), but if we can bank on honest elections going forward, the legislative branch can use their power for both the stick and the carrot without fear that one of them will be eliminated.
Maybe there's a way to do it without the problems I foresee, and I'll keep an open mind, but for now I'm against.
