Expedited Line-Item Veto and Rescissions Act of 2011
- Vote Passed (254-173, 6 Not Voting)

The House passed this bill to give the president a line-item veto and rescission authority over discretionary spending bills. The bill would give Congress three days to vote to accept or reject the presidents’ rescissions. The White House supports the bill, but the Senate is not expected to take it up.
