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

Legal and constitutional framework around pocket rescission contested

The Government Accountability Office has called the "pocket rescission" maneuver illegal. The prior pocket rescission issued by Trump a year ago, blocking $4.9 billion in foreign aid, was not blocked by the U.S. Supreme Court, which cited Trump's authority over foreign affairs. This year's action targets domestic spending. Trump argues the tool is legally permissible under the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974, though the law contains ambiguities.

“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.”
