• After reading that story, what are the potential “pros” of the Governor having the power of a line-item veto?

Answer 1

The potential “pros” of the Governor having the power of a line-item veto include:

it facilitates elimination of a particular provision in a bill without vetoing the whole bill. This means the governor can remove unimportant sections from important legislations.

The governor has final say on the legislation, which is necessary as he has been mandated as the chief executive of the state.
