It seems to me that this would cause a heap of complications in writing
proposals, which would need to include safeguards against disastrous
partial applications. For example, a proposal that splits an important
rule into two parts, by amending the original and creating a new one,
could easily be vetoed to cancel the creation part.
Alternatively, voters could make votes conditional on whether there is a
veto or not.
On the other hand, I can imagine occasional useful vetoes to cancel bugs
and the like.
In sum, this proposal can't cause real trouble if proposal writers
or voters are really careful, but that may be a tall assumption.

I submit the following proposal, line-item veto 2, AI-1:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enact a Rule, "Line-item Veto", with the following text:
The Comptrollor is an imposed office. When the office is vacant,
the ADoP CAN, by announcement, set the Comptroller to a player
chosen at random from the set of current Officers, excepting any
player who was most recently the Comptrollor. The ADoP SHALL do
so in a timely fashion after the office becomes vacant.
When the Comptrollor office has been held for the same player for
30 days, it becomes vacant.
A Notice of Veto is a body of text, published by the Comptrollor,
clearly, directly, and without obfuscation labelled within the
publishing message as being a Notice of Veto.
When a Comptrollor publishes a Notice of Veto, the office of
Comptrollor becomes vacant.
If the text of a Notice of Veto clearly indicates certain
provisions within specified Proposals as being vetoed, and the
voting period for a decision to adopt the proposal is ongoing
when the Notice is published, then the provision is vetoed.
For the purposes of this Rule, each individual change specified
within a proposal's text is a "provision".
Vetoed provisions in a proposal CANNOT be applied when that
proposal takes effect.
