Original: What Is a ‘Pocket Rescission’? Inside Trump’s Move to Cancel $810 Million in Federal Funding
The Trump administration is moving to cancel $810 million in previously approved federal funding using a tactic being called a 'pocket rescission'. The move has drawn attention to the obscure budget mechanism, which involves proposing spending cuts late in the fiscal year so they are unlikely to be voted on by Congress before funding expires. Coverage is focusing on what the tactic is, whether it is legal, and its impact on approved programmes.
Why now: The administration's use of an unusual and legally contested budget tactic to cut spending is generating debate.
