Just saying....

Trump just invoked the Impoundment of Control Act of 1974

So first off, shills are claiming Trump signed the bill, therefore it is now law. It’s not. Trump just invoked the Impoundment of Control Act of 1974, which allows him to send a special message to Congress demanding whatever changes he wants on the bill. The bill is then sent to the House, and they and the Senate have to decide if they’re going to draft law to approve his changes, or sit on their ass. Trump just used that to demand $2k checks, cutting out the foreign spending, repealing Section 230, and opening an investigation into voter fraud. See here:

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

>On Monday the House will vote to increase payments to individuals from $600 to $2,000. Therefore, a family of four would receive $5,200. Additionally, Congress has promised that Section 230, which so unfairly benefits Big Tech at the expense of the American people, will be reviewed and either be terminated or substantially reformed.

>The Senate will start the process for a vote that increases checks to $2,000, repeals Section 230, and starts an investigation into voter fraud.

Upwards of 99% of Congress expect Trump to be gone on January 20th. So which do you think they'll do?

Yeah, so?

Could you provide sources or explication?

I stated on another thread that the bill is not yet law and also, that the present Congress ends 1/3/21, so the bill is now moot until a new Congress drafts/submits it.

I am being told I am confused, it is law because it is signed, and we are, therefore, all doomed. Or at least, this iteration is over.

Would love to have some sauce. TIA.
