Jeb Bush Campaign Press Release - Let's Revive Veto Corleone

July 19, 2015

Jeb earned the nickname Veto Corleone because as governor, he vetoed over 2,500 separate line items in the budget. No one was safe from Jeb's veto power. If a piece of the legislation was not in the best interest of the people of Florida, it was cut.

It's time to revive Veto Corleone. Overspending is a problem that requires a president to assert the national interest, even when no one else will. The president should be able to eliminate wasteful and irresponsible spending through a constitutionally sound line-item veto.
