One pig may have at least been taxiing for the runway.

The Dumbos in Congress actually did give Clinton line-item veto power his last year or two. Apparently it had been part of their "Contract" they swept into power on. I remember listening to a news story where Bill actually used it to veto some spending items, but just some small-potato stuff that wouldn't upset either party. Not too long afterward, the Supreme Court decided that giving the Prez line-item veto power was unconstitutional.
