If memory serves, every president for quite some time has asked for the line-item veto. Nobody has gotten it because the congress realizes a line-item veto essentially puts it out of business.

For the record, the constitution of the Confederate States of America included a line-item veto. It also included language that explicitly banned corporate welfare (then known as "internal improvement subsidies"), protectionist tariffs, and did not contain the General Welfare clause that has been so abused.
