We need the Line Item Veto

But we are unlikely to ever get it.  The line item veto would allow the president to go thru pork laden spending bills and veto individual items without killing the whole thing.  The "everything including the kitchen sink" policies of our Congress make the line item veto necessary.   Congress allows absolutely anything and everything to be included in any bill, whether it has any logical connection with the bill's purpose or not.  For instance they tried (and failed) to tack an immigration reform (DACA) onto the omnibus funding bill.  Since the omnibus funding bill was a "must pass" bill (the government shuts down if they don't pass it) evry Congresscritter made sure to add his pet piece of pork (federal spending in his district) to the bill.  Result, a lot of wasteful spending.  If the president could go thru the omnibus spending bill and veto the more offensive pieces of pork, we could reduce federal spending by a lot. 
   Line item veto is unlikely to ever happen.  Congresscritters love their pork.  The thought that a president could veto a bit of pork they had worked hard to get into the funding bill just frosts Congresscritters.  Since a line item veto requires at least an act of Congress, and perhaps a constitutional amendment, the Congresscritters can stop it by simply voting against it, should it ever come up for a vote.  And Congress has plenty of file 13's entomb unwanted legislation, killing it with out having to go on record by voting against it.
