On the recordFebruary 6, 1995
Mr. Chairman, my amendment says that this line-item veto authority, if passed, would sunset in 2 years. Actually, I would like this to sunset in 2 weeks. I would not even like to see the Sun shine on the line-item veto. However, I would just like to say this, Mr. Chairman. I want to warn the Congress of the United States, who continues to transfer power from the Congress, which is that of the people, to the Presidency, I do not want to see President Bill Clinton have a line-item veto. It is nothing against President Clinton. I do not want to see any President, Democrat or Republican, or Independent, I might add, which I see coming down the pike in the future, a third party that I predict will in fact surface and ultimately elect a President in our country, because of the tremendous problem that we continue to agitate with legislation that does not in fact deal with the problems.
