Appropriators seek ways to curb Trump's spending cancellations
Original: Appropriators seek ways to curb Trump’s spending cancellations
Congressional appropriators are looking for legislative tools to limit the Trump administration's ability to cancel money already appropriated by Congress. The effort reflects growing friction between lawmakers and the White House over impoundment-style spending cuts, with members of both parties who control the purse weighing safeguards as budget negotiations continue.
Why now: Lawmakers are reacting to the administration's attempts to withhold or rescind congressionally approved funds, a constitutional fight over the power of the purse.
