If you don't get what Trump just pulled on the porkers in DC then I can't explain it any clearer. The money is impounded for 45 days and Nancy has a razor thin majority next session.

You have a good evening.

“As President I am demanding many rescissions under the Impoundment Control Act of 1974.”

This is an example of how it’s wise to wait for the information fog to lift before engaging a misinformed brain to draw inference from sketchy data.

Our news establishment is, like our elections, a disgrace and an embarrassment.

I can’t breathe, I am laughing so much.

President Trump can with hold the monies till mid February.

There is prolly more than 1001 ways to frame/compose a message to Congress to request a Rescission of the funds.

That is more than enough time for Nancy and Chuck to cave and submit a new spending bill to open the Government.

The left has 40 days to wake up and understand Nancy, Chuck and AOC short changed them viv a vis the rest of the world.

he had very little control of even his own executive branch.

Sadly, that's true.

This treasonous bill, as one of his last acts, will forever mark failure. And likely serve as starting point for Biden to undue much of his actions and show how much was just talk.

The budget does not carry over into the next Congress.

Trump outsmarted them.

It doesn’t, Trump had an awful, awful, legal team. But rallies ARE necessary. Action may be necessary, depends if the District of Criminals makes a move for the guns.

Agreed. I’ve learned with this president to wait and find out all of the details.

Curious why you place the $ *after* the numerical amount rather than in front. (600$ instead of $600)

Please explain what Carter signed in 1979 pertains to your line-item fantasy of the 1974 Impoundment Act which has been further amended in 1997 and basically strengthens Congress' leverage.

Also explain who the 51 Senators will be that push back the Pres rescission proposal after previously voting for the pork, lol. In case you have not notice both bodies of Congress already agreed to this fiscal crap. Best you will get is even more debt spending after the $2000.

LOL!
Yes, the law, that the President signed, DOES carry over despite a new Congress.
LOL!

I have no idea of your point except that you’ve simply made a mistake.

A law passed by one Congress and signed by the President is THE LAW, it needs nothing from any other Congress.
If it did then what would be the point?
Things are silly enough without that crazy view!
But it seems to be yours that they do.

Honestly, that’s what you are saying.
No, after 45 days the money in the law that the President signed has to be released.

“President Trump can with hold the monies till mid February.”

So?

“That is more than enough time for Nancy and Chuck to cave and submit a new spending bill to open the Government.”

Why would they cave? They got what they wanted.

“the Impoundment Control Act of 1974.” only allows to delay expenditures for 45 days. Then they MUST be spent as the Congress directed, unless both Houses of Congress agree otherwise.

In other words the “Impoundment Control Act of 1974.” means nothing.

Senate and Congress had to pass a Bill to fund the Government.

Government is not funded for 45 days.

It’s a 5,000 page porkulus bill. There are more than 1001 ways to tie up the funds for rolling 45 day periods.

Of course, the funds have to be spent before the end of the fiscal year (September ??)

And, there is a new Congress early January.
