Trump administration claws back nearly $1B in Congress-approved spending
Original: Trump administration uses rare authority to claw back nearly $1B in spending approved by Congress
The Trump administration is using a rarely invoked authority to rescind nearly $1 billion in federal spending that Congress had already approved. The move, reported by PBS, reignites debate over presidential power over the purse and whether the executive branch can block money lawmakers appropriated, a fight likely to draw legal challenges and pushback from Capitol Hill.
Why now: The use of rare rescission authority raises constitutional questions about the balance of spending power between the White House and Congress.
