Budget UPDATE: President Trump just invoked the Impoundment Control Act of 1974 while signing the COVID bill, allowing him to redline areas that must be addressed. This sends it back to Congress forcing them to 1) repeal 230, 2) cut out the wasteful spending, 3) add $2k. - Conspiracies

They don't have to block this, they just have no obligation to comply with the portions requesting additions to the (now signed-into-law) bill. The actual rescission of funding element can be vetoed by either House under the Act; both Houses have to pass a bill of rescission within 45 days of the President's proposed rescission for it to be permanent.

The Impoundment Act is a fucking mess, sorry.
