If anyone can explain these, much obliged. Supposedly part of "signing statementss", not part of the bill, but I know nuttin.

JUST IN: Trump signing statement on coronavirus bill says he’ll override a provision requiring the newly created inspector general to report to Congress any time agencies refuse to give him/her requested info. pic.twitter.com/XhbYKMGaGq— Kyle Cheney (@kyledcheney) March 27, 2020

Signing statement also says Trump will ignore requirements that congressional committees be consulted before reallocating funds. pic.twitter.com/tEjFl0BJdw— Kyle Cheney (@kyledcheney) March 27, 2020

And the statement also indicates Trump will treat as optional a provision requiring that Congress be consulted about the staffing of the new Pandemic Response Accountability Committee. pic.twitter.com/V0YaUCWUPs— Kyle Cheney (@kyledcheney) March 27, 2020

what it means, in a nutshell, is all those concern trolls that graced the prior thread in recent days, trying to get the CARES act defeated, weren’t paying attention. For decades now, when a President signs a bill, he can attach a signing statement which his directive to the agencies on how to implement the bill. Basically it’s a back-door line item veto whereby Congress passes the law and POTUS then decides how it will be implemented - he directs the Executive Branch.
