You've reminded me of an absolutely bizzare line item veto story.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line-item_veto_in_the_United_S...

> In 2023, Governor Tony Evers used a line-item veto to extend what was supposed to be a two year temporary funding increase for schools to last over 400 years.

> Evers was able to make the nearly 400-year-old addition by vetoing part of a phrase that had referred to the 2024-25 school year, by striking a hyphen and the "20." When read together, the legislature's previous proposals for the 2023-24 and the 2024-25 school years became 2023-2425.

The WI Supreme Court upheld it. What a fucked-up system.
