So this came up as a problem a little while ago, so here's what I want to know.

Should the President be given the power to veto a part of a bill because it doesn't relate to the topic of the bill. I.E. Farm subsidies in the Iraq funding bill.

The government spends a lot of extra money on earmark projects, but people pass the bill to gain support, but should the President be able to veto an earmark, so that the main topic of a bill passes, without the extra spending.
