Crazy ways Wisconsin governors have abused line-item veto powers, as GOP peculiarly seeks to curb them

Description

A bit of a conundrum for Democrats — or those against strangely powerful executive powers — as some Republicans have proposed curbing the Wisconsin governor's powers. Of course, the timing is peculiar, with Democrat Tony Evers at the helm, and the way in which the GOP wants to get this bill passed — through a manipulatively worded constitutional amendment. We discuss why it's happening now — perhaps because Evers' used it to extend public school funding for 402 years — and how governors of the past — both Democrats and Republicans — have abused this power.
