Throughout his two terms, former President Ronald Reagan supported the item veto as one solution to the federal budget deficits. The 1988 Republican Platform endorsed the concept and George Bush advocated it during the presidential campaign.1 The item veto has strong appeal to many others. It appears to be an incredibly simple way for the President to reduce appropriations bills. Presently, he is required to veto an entire bill in order to get at something he does not like. With the item veto, he would have the further option of eliminating only the objectionable part while leaving the balance of the appropriation intact
