 To authorize the President to veto an item of appropriation in an Act 
                             or resolution.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. VETO AUTHORITY.

    The President may disapprove an item of appropriation in any Act or 
resolution.

SEC. 2. OBJECTION AND RECONSIDERATION.

    Whenever the President disapproves an item of appropriation 
pursuant to this Act, the President shall designate the disapproved 
item and return a copy of such item, with his objections, for 
reconsideration by the House of Congress in which the Act or resolution 
containing the item originated. If, after such reconsideration, a 
majority of that House agrees to pass the item, it shall be sent, 
together with the objections, to the other House for reconsideration; 
if approved by a majority of that House, the item shall become law.
