Original: Three things you need to know about Trump’s “pocket rescission” proposal
The Trump administration's so-called pocket rescission proposal is drawing attention, with watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington laying out three key points about the plan. The mechanism would allow the White House to withhold already-appropriated funds near the end of the fiscal year, effectively letting spending lapse without congressional approval, and critics are questioning its legality.
Why now: The proposal raises constitutional concerns about presidential power over congressionally approved spending.
