Jayapal Condemns Trump's Use of Pocket Rescissions

Original: Ranking Member Jayapal Statement on Trump’s Pocket Rescissions

Congressional Progressive Caucus Chair Pramila Jayapal has issued a statement criticizing President Trump's use of pocket rescissions, a maneuver by which the administration withholds funds already appropriated by Congress without a formal vote. Jayapal argues the practice circumvents Congress's constitutional power of the purse. The statement positions her as a leading Democratic voice against what she frames as an executive overreach affecting approved federal spending.

Why now: The White House's use of pocket rescissions to withhold congressionally approved funds has raised fresh constitutional and spending disputes in Washington.
