Jayapal Criticizes Trump's Pocket Rescissions Strategy
Original: Ranking Member Jayapal Statement on Trump’s Pocket Rescissions
Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, the ranking member of the House Budget Committee, issued a statement criticizing the Trump administration's use of 'pocket rescissions' — a maneuver in which the president proposes cancelling previously approved spending so late in the fiscal year that Congress cannot act before funds expire. Jayapal condemned the move as an attempt to bypass Congress's constitutional power of the purse and cut funding without legislative approval.
Why now: The administration has employed an unusual and contested budgetary tactic that raises constitutional concerns about congressional spending authority.
