The Governor of Texas has the power of a line-item veto on appropriations bills while the President of the United States does not. A line-item veto allows the governor to strike out one portion or one item in the bill. He can either replace that item with a new one or he can just remove it entirely and keep the rest of the bill intact. The President’s veto power is different because he only has the power to veto the entire bill. He cannot remove one part and keep the rest intact.
