Wisconsin's line item veto is kind of hilarious because it leads to these weird inverted Scrabble games where we see what words we can make by taking letters out These vetoes are similar to the line-item veto powers granted to governors of most other states, but Wisconsin's partial veto is uniquely powerful. That difference is because, unlike in other states, governors in Wisconsin can strike nearly any part of a budget bill, including sentences, words or in some cases even a single character or digit. permalink fedilink source parent
