Trump cancels $810M in congressionally approved spending via rare 'pocket rescission'

Republican Senator Susan Collins, chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, condemned the action in a statement, saying it occurred without warning or consultation and represents an unconstitutional usurpation of Congress's appropriations powers. She called it an impoundment not reported to Congress and announced she would work with colleagues to address "these illegal actions."

“Not only is the delay itself an impoundment that was not reported to Congress, but also it is a usurpation of Congress's appropriations powers. OMB is an agency of the executive branch. It does not get to decide which programs are worth funding.”
