I'm also confused. I heard about the vote coming tomorrow to increase the direct payments. My concern is that he actually signed this bullshit bill which gave billions away to foreign countries for stupid shit.
I think he signed it but there are things that the house and senate will vote on. The video of the last bill talking about all the wasteful spending had a lot of views. He's basically telling them to cut out the pork and if they don't listen to him the public will know the senate and house don't have our best interest.
Put simply, if the President wants to spend less money than Congress provided for a particular purpose, he or she must first secure a law providing Congressional approval to rescind the funding in question. The ICA requires that the President send a special message to Congress identifying the amount of the proposed rescission; the reasons for it; and the budgetary, economic, and programmatic effects of the rescission. Upon transmission of such special message, the President may withhold certain funding in the affected accounts for up to 45 legislative session days. If a law approving the rescission is not enacted within the 45 days, any withheld funds must be made available for obligation.
A 2018 Government Accountability Office legal opinion holds that if the President proposes a rescission, he or she must make the affected funds available to be prudently obligated before the funds expire, even if the 45-day clock is still running. This means, for example, that the President cannot strategically time a rescission request for late in the fiscal year and withhold the funding until it expires, thus achieving a rescission without Congressional approval.
So basically as the year runs out on Jan 1, all of this stuff goes through and none of his requested changes need to be made?
What about the Insurrection Act and the 302? Still in?
Haven't seen anyone post it yet, just saying Trump signed the bill. I have no idea how this works, is he forcing them to remove parts of the bill? here's the second half https://twitter.com/AndrewFeinberg/status/1343365817782722560/photo/2

Look before you leap people. Read, get informed, then your comments will be more than shilling.
It's like a psedo line item veto.
