Impoundment Control Act—Withholding of Funds through Their Date of Expiration

The law applies to rescission, not holding, which is in fact permitted. The Government Accountability Office is misreading the actual law which states that the President may temporarily withhold funds from obligation-but not beyond the end of the fiscal year. It is obvious to all who can read and comprehend that the funds for Ukraine were not held beyond the end of the fiscal year. Oops. The Democrats in the GAO, an arm of the Democrat controlled House of Representatives, staffed almost, if not exclusively by Democrats, is obfuscating what the law allows.
