Original: Debt Digest | Trump’s Pocket Rescission Undermines Power of the Purse
President Trump has used a 'pocket rescission' to try to cancel previously appropriated federal funds without congressional approval. Critics, including budget analysts, say the maneuver undermines Congress's constitutional power of the purse and tests long-standing spending law. The move is prompting debate over executive authority and whether lawmakers will act to block the cancellation.
Why now: A contested executive budget maneuver is raising fresh constitutional concerns about congressional control of federal spending.
