Getting this from Josh Chafetz of Georgetown Law on Twitter (I know, I know), but this is text in the WI statute on the line item veto:

“(c) In approving an appropriation bill in part, the govern may not create a new word by rejecting individual letters in th vords of the enrolled bill, and may not create a new sentence by combining parts of 2 or more sentences of the enrolled bill.”
