FYI 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.

-This is a virtually unknown law and has taken Congress by surprise.

-It also signals his intent to invoke other laws in the coming weeks.

A) Trump: I will sign the Omnibus and Covid package with a strong message that makes clear to Congress that wasteful items need to be removed.

B) Trump: I will send back to Congress a redlined version, item by item, accompanied by the formal rescission request to Congress insisting that those funds be removed from the bill.
