Washington (CNN) Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin asserted Sunday Congress could give President Donald Trump "line-item veto" power -- something the Supreme Court has ruled unconstitutional. Mnuchin suggested that line-item veto power would give the President the ability to thwart Democratic demands in future spending bills. The Supreme Court ruled the line-item veto unconstitutional in 1998, saying it gave the President the power to unilaterally change or repeal parts of legislation passed by Congress. I think they should give the President a line-item veto," Mnuchin said Sunday. Wallace responded by noting that line-item veto power has "been ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court."
