Clinton, President of the United States, et al., v. City of New York et al.

On June 25, 1998, the US Supreme Court struck down the line-item veto law that allowed the president to reject specific items in tax and spending measures. The 6-3 decision said the law violates that part of the Constitution requiring every bill to be presented to the president for his approval or veto. The Constitution does not, in the Court's opinion, allow a partial-veto. The Legal Information Institute at Cornell University Law School has posted a syllabus and the text of the opinion. A [.pdf] version and related documents are also available. (Links to the full text of the other five major decisions made on June 25, 1998 can be found in the Scout Report for June 26, 1998)
