On the recordFebruary 3, 1995
as I have reviewed this over the years, as the House has deliberated on the line-item veto--and last year we came to the conclusion that basically the substitute the gentleman is now offering was the one that should become law--the one reason was to maintain the balance of power. The gentleman has stated this is his opening remarks, and I would like to carry that a little further, because I think we really need to show this to the Members of the House. If the Republican version would ever become law and be held to be constitutional, the House could very well have no input at all. No Member of the House would have any input because with any President, knowing how this total system works, all he needs is 34 Senators. All he needs is 34 Senators, because both Houses have to override the veto. Is that correct?
