Title: Legislative Line Item Veto Act and Other Expedited Rescission Bills: Brief Overview
Authors: Virginia A. McMurtry, Government and Finance Division 
Abstract: A draft measure from the Bush Administration incorporating expedited rescission has been introduced as H.R. 4890 and S. 2381; and H.R. 2290 (Section 311), H.R. 4699, and S. 2372 contain similar provisions. Expedited rescission bills have attracted supporters over the years, because the approach is generally regarded as transferring less power from Congress to the President than most other ways to alter the rescission framework.
