To find the answer to your question, we need to review the Constitution and relevant legislation. The line item veto power refers to the ability of a president to veto specific parts of a bill without vetoing the entire bill. However, it's important to note that the line item veto power was actually granted to the president briefly in the mid-1990s but was later declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in 1998.
Specifically, it was granted by the Line Item Veto Act of 1996, which allowed the president to veto individual spending and tax provisions within larger bills. This means option c, "spending and tax bills," is the correct answer. It worked like this: if the president believed that particular spending or tax provisions of a bill were unnecessary or wasteful, they could use the line item veto to strike them down.
However, after the Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional, the line item veto power was no longer available to the president. Therefore, the current answer to your question would be that the president does not have the line item veto power for any types of bills.
