The President could ask Congress to remove specific spending or narrow tax breaks from a newly passed law. Congress would get a quick yes-or-no vote, and no cancellation could happen without its approval.
Modern Action explains what the legislation does, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
Legislative Line Item Veto Act of 2025 is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Referred to the Committee on the Budget, and in addition to the Committee on Rules, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Latest action on H.R. 1979: Referred to the Committee on the Budget, and in addition to the Committee on Rules, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects programs, projects, and taxpayers named in a presidential cancellation request. They could face a temporary pause while Congress decides whether to approve the cut. Federal agencies would have to manage those pauses. Members of Congress would have to consider the requests under strict deadlines and voting rules.
Why this matters: Large laws can contain spending and tax breaks that some officials want to remove without rejecting the whole law. This bill would give the President a fast way to put those items before Congress. It might help reduce federal deficits, but the result would depend on which requests Congress approves. Temporary pauses could also disrupt programs or tax plans even when Congress later rejects the cuts.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
