Practice question
The President dislikes one section of an ordinary regulatory bill that is not an appropriation, revenue, or tariff bill. The President signs the bill but purports to veto only that section under Article VI, Section 27(2). Is that an authorized item veto?
- Yes, because every numbered section is a constitutional item
- Yes, because signing creates an unrestricted editing power
- No; the stipulated ordinary bill is outside the listed classes for item veto
- Yes, if the Cabinet agrees
- Yes, if the section is unpopular
