Two Wisconsin lawmakers from opposing parties are joining former GOP presidential nominee John McCain in pushing to give President Barack Obama line-item veto power.
Sen. Russ Feingold, D-Middleton, and Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Janesville, are teaming up with the Arizona senator for what they say is a strategy to hold the line on federal spending and prevent wasteful earmarks.
They plan to introduce the bill tomorrow.
Feingold has worked with McCain before in rewriting federal campaign finance rules. Ryan is the top Republican on the House budget committee.
