Trump's signature finalizes the bill. Rescission simply forces Congress to vote on the line items, that's it. If the votes fails, which they will fail, the bill stays as is, because again, it has been signed and approved by the President.

You need to learn your history on past rescissions. They're always ignored or struck down at the floor.

I trust Trump. He is WAY smarter than I am. All he had to do was pocket veto so there must be a reason he did it this way.

Honestly, he simply had no choice here. The bill was overwhelmingly bi-partisan, and all he could do was delay passing it, which means denying relief to millions of Americans.

Pocket veto was not a good option either, because then he would have to take the full blame on denying relief to millions of Americans.

Congress won this battle.
