Today In History

1997-President Bill Clinton made the first use of the line-item veto approved by Congress, rejecting three items in spending and tax bills. (However, the Supreme Court later struck down the line-item veto as unconstitutional.)

2003 -NATO took command of the 5,000-strong peacekeeping force in Afghanistan.

I remember this and I LOVED IT!!

1984- President Ronald Reagan joked during a voice test for a paid political radio address that he had "signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes."
