White House moves to block $810 million in funding via pocket rescission
Original: White House moves to block $810 million in funding through pocket rescission
The White House is moving to block $810 million in previously approved federal funding using a pocket rescission, a budget maneuver that lets a president propose canceling appropriated funds late enough in the fiscal year that they expire without congressional approval. The move bypasses lawmakers and is likely to draw legal challenges and criticism from Congress over executive control of spending.
Why now: The use of an unusual and legally contested budget maneuver to bypass Congress is drawing attention and likely backlash.
