In 1996, Republicans passed the Line Item Veto Act. Clinton immediately used it to modify the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, vetoing some parts of the bill like the massive Medicare cuts the Republicans had forced through. Republicans immediately took it to the Supreme Court, to get them to rule their own law Unconstitutional.
Biden needs to do the same. Use the power they gave him. No, abuse it. Force Republicans and the courts to respond.
