Jayapal Slams Trump's Use of Pocket Rescissions
Original: Ranking Member Jayapal Statement on Trump’s Pocket Rescissions
Representative Pramila Jayapal, the ranking Democrat on the House immigration subcommittee, issued a statement criticizing President Trump's use of pocket rescissions, a budgetary maneuver allowing proposed spending cuts to take effect without a congressional vote if timing rules expire a session. Jayapal's statement condemns the move as an overreach that bypasses Congress's power of the purse. The practice is drawing scrutiny as the administration tests rarely used tools to cut previously approved funding.
Why now: Trump's use of the rarely invoked pocket rescission tactic has sparked debate over presidential power over congressionally approved spending.
