Once a president had stricken the item, Congress could pass that particular item again.

"No clear mechanism or requirement exists today for the president and Congress to consult. The War Powers Resolution of 1973 contains only vague consultation requirements. Instead, it relies on reporting requirements that, if triggered, begin the clock running for Congress to approve the particular armed conflict. By the terms of the 1973 Resolution, however, Congress need not act to disapprove the conflict; the cessation of all hostilities is required in 60 to 90 days merely if Congress fails to act. Many have criticized this aspect of the Resolution as unwise and unconstitutional, and no president in the past 35 years has filed a report “pursuant” to these triggering provisions."</span><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3APresident+of+the+United+States&rft.au=Baker%2C+III&rft.au=Christopher%2C+James+A.&rft.aufirst=James+A.&rft.aulast=Christopher&rft.btitle=The+National+War+Powers+Commission+Report&rft.date=July+8%2C+2008&rft.genre=book&rft_id=http%3A%2F%2Fmillercenter.org%2Fpolicy%2Fcommissions%2Fwarpowers%2Freport&rft.pub=The+Miller+Center+of+Public+Affairs+at+the+University+of+Virginia&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook" class="Z3988"><span style="display:none;"> </span></span></span></li> -<li id="cite_note-tws12novef-26"><span class="mw-cite-backlink">^ <a href="#cite_ref-tws12novef_26-0"><sup><i><b>a</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-tws12novef_26-1"><sup><i><b>b</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-tws12novef_26-2"><sup><i><b>c</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-tws12novef_26-3"><sup><i><b>d</b></i></sup></a></span> <span class="reference-text"><span class="citation news"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,878290,00.html">"The Law: The President's War Powers"</a>. <i>Time</i>.

"Use of the state secrets privilege in courts has grown significantly over the last twenty-five years. In the twenty-three years between the decision in Reynolds [1953] and the election of Jimmy Carter, in 1976, there were four reported cases in which the government invoked the privilege. Between 1977 and 2001, there were a total of fifty-one reported cases in which courts ruled on invocation of the privilege. Because reported cases only represent a fraction of the total cases in which the privilege is invoked or implicated, it is unclear precisely how dramatically the use of the privilege has grown.
