1. LIV means the vetoed portion goes back to Congress for a separate vote
It will considerably change the dynamic of the Congress - for the better, I think.

I don't think it would give Bush any more power than he already has taken.

3. Bush would use it to veto anything that helps a blue part of the country
A bill that contained money for bridges in the SF Bay Area would be line item vetoed, while spending on wheat subsidies for Kansas would be left intact.
