Trump administration claws back nearly $1B in congressionally approved spending
Original: Trump administration uses rare authority to claw back nearly $1B in spending approved by Congress
The Trump administration is invoking a rarely used authority to rescind nearly $1 billion in federal spending that Congress had already approved. The move tests the limits of executive power over the purse and is likely to spark a legal and political fight on Capitol Hill over whether the White House can unilaterally cancel appropriations lawmakers enacted into law.
Why now: The unusual use of rescission authority raises fresh constitutional questions about executive power over congressionally approved funds.
