Moderate Democrats Propose Banning Pocket Rescissions

“Moderate Democrats want Congress to wrest back some control over government spending from the president,” the Washington Sun reports.

“Their proposal: a major overhaul of the budget process that would impose new limitations on the White House.”

“A new bill introduced on Friday by the Blue Dog Coalition would end pocket rescissions, the process through which President Donald Trump rescinded more than $800 million in already appropriated funds.”
