Line-item veto

Explanation:

President Bill Clinton's use of authority granted to him by congress to veto a portion of the budget that provided preferential Medicaid treatment of New York is known as the Line-item veto or the partial veto.

The line-item veto is a special form of veto power that authorizes a chief executive, head of state or president to reject certain provisions of a bill enacted by a legislature without vetoing the entire bill.
