message: You have good material here, but I would rewrite that first sentence so what you're defining comes first, e.g. "Clinton v. City of New York is a Supreme Court decision regarding the Line Item Veto Act.".  You should also include the citation to the U.S. Reports right after the first reference.  While briefs or the opinion may say "et al", they aren't used anywhere else.  Just put Clinton v. City of New York and it'll look fine.  Did you include a link to the text of the case, either to Findlaw or the database at Cornell's law school?  Ave atque vale!PedanticallySpeaking 19:59, Aug 26, 2004 (UTC)

Giving the vote tally of the Supreme Court's decision (e.g., 6-3, 7-2) would be nice as well.  Funnyhat 06:36, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: George W. Bush just asked Congress to give him the line item veto in his State of the Union address! This article could become important.--Alhutch 02:49, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Scuse me for being ignorant but could we know which Clinton is discussed in the article as there is no mention of him. If it is about the former president would somebody be kind enough to link to his article. Lincher 16:52, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have added him where the article talks about the actual instances of cancellation by the President in the 1997 acts of Congress. Because the law and the decision applied and apply to all Presidents, and applied to Bill Clinton ex officio, in his office as President, I don't think that adding it to the first sentence or introduction is necessary and may clutter the text. -- Centrx 02:11, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

# add an infobox Postdlf beat us to the punch
# outline (per the project page's suggested outlines or anything we feel is more appropriate here) this seems to be finished for this article, though subsections might have room for improvement (like the one's I just created)
# add relevant categories from :Category:United States case law added Separation of Powers, the only one I thought relevant
# add subsequent history section with mention of Bush asking for it in State of the Union and any further developments Added information on the new proposed Act and its current status in Congress. RidG Talk 23:06, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Project Collaboration Article Checklist

message: I've added a checklist of things above that I think we should work on. Feel free to edit it. This article has a primary editor, Centrx who wrote most if it (from what I can tell) who I've contacted. I'll do a few preliminary things, but figured I'd leave the infobox and categories for anyone who wants practice with those. I'll do those in a few days if no one's gotten to it by then.--Chaser T 02:31, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: PCA comments

message: When I get a chance, I'll add a section on how scholars have argued this would apply to signing statements (though I know what my professional opinion is).  A LEXIS search just popped up 23 law review articles mentioning both this decision and signing statements...   Postdlf 02:49, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Damn, I should have read the talk page before making modifications to the article. I've added a brief section summarizing a handful of law review articles on this case. I don't think this overlaps what you are planning to do, however, since it seems that you are addressing mainly how this case connects to signing statements.RidG Talk 21:21, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Looks like we're good; what I have in mind will only complement your section.  Postdlf 00:20, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Signing statements 

message: From the current article under Subsequent developments:
"However, Byrd noted that he supported the core idea of line-item vetoes."
This is confusing. The quote from the uncited source CNN article reads:
"Despite his vehemence Tuesday, Byrd supported the core idea when it was offered as a Democratic alternative to the tougher line-item veto law more than a decade ago."
which says something different.
Shouldn't the misleading sentence be taken out? It struck me as improbable in light of his other statements -- Byrd envisions a core line item veto which can't be used as a (his word) weapon?. Is a mention of his ten year old opinion needed at all?  What does it add to this article?
This entire paragraph should be cited but the original CNN article is not available at CNN. I found it at:
http://www.byrd2006.com/news/in_the_news_display.cfm?ID=27
but I don't know if this is a proper citation.
Thoughts? Therefore 03:08, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
