Jayapal Condemns Trump's Pocket Rescission Strategy
Original: Ranking Member Jayapal Statement on Trump’s Pocket Rescissions
Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, the ranking member of the House Budget Committee, has issued a formal statement criticizing the Trump administration's use of pocket rescissions, a maneuver that lets the White House withhold previously appropriated funds until they expire without a congressional vote. She argues the tactic bypasses Congress's constitutional power of the purse and undermines funding priorities set by lawmakers.
Why now: The administration's controversial use of pocket rescissions has reignited a fight over presidential power and congressional spending authority.
