The bill was NOT sent back to Congress. That is factually fake news. He's sending a request back to the Congress to ask for recissions. The bill is law.
Both houses can yawn and say "fuck off with that", and there's nothing he can do. There is no "forcing" here, that's the wording that Twitter dude used. The President is asking here, regardless of him using "demand" or that tweet saying "force".
I've been confident of Trump's actions so far, the only thing I've disagreed with is the vaccine. But this? I'm really pissed. Illegals now get $1800 of our sweat and labor. I'm so fucking pissed.
This doesn't stop the money at all. Only specific spending that Trump has to send to Congress in his request. The rest of it? It's spent. The overwhelming majority of the money is spent. Gone. The recission process is very short, and specific, neither house is going to write a bill to go over every dollar. If they're willing to do that, they would have when crafting this bill over the last months.
And Trump can refuse to spend the money. That's the thing.
This was a law designed to prevent what Nixon did. Which was "Fuck your pork, your pet projects aren't getting shit."
Now, Presidents have to announce in an angry worded letter what they think needs fixing before refusing to spend the money. Which is what Trump just did.
You are misleading people about the brilliance of this move. They will ignore what he sends and the money will be released after 45 days. They will get their money no matter what Trump says, Either he was lied too by his advisors or he punted. But know this; the wrong side won this fight.
-President Trump just invoked the Impoundment Control Act of 1974 while signing the COVID bill, allowing him to redline areas that must be addressed.
-This sends it back to Congress forcing them to 1) repeal 230, 2) cut out the wasteful spending, 3) add $2k.
-This is a virtually unknown law and has taken Congress by surprise.
-It also signals his intent to invoke other laws in the coming weeks.
-PER FOX: The Senate will start the process that increases checks to $2k, repeals Section 230, starts an investigation into voter fraud, per President Trump's redlines under the Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (which Nixon signed).
Basically, Congress can set aside money, but the President can refuse to allow it to be spent.
See, Congress can direct that funds be made available and on what they're supposed to be used on... But it's the Executive -- Trump -- that has to do the actual spending.
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.
It's a bill designed to prevent what Nixon did. Before the ICA, Nixon just said "Fuck your pork, I'm not giving those programs one red cent."
After the ICA, Presidents have to sign an angry letter and give them the opportunity to fix the issues first. And then they're allowed to not spend the money.
Basically, Trump just blocked the Spending Bill, and sent them a ransom note for it -- "Repeal 230, $2000 per American, and get rid of the worst pork."

Seems they will actually get 3200 if the amount is raised to 2000. They will get this 2000 plus the original 1200, no?
Sounds like it.
This is what I feared. So, sounds like he gave the left prime steak so Patriot workers could get some hamburgers. Right?
I just read the process. All they have to do is write a new rescission bill and vote it down.
If they do this, the bill he signed is enforced. Either he read it wrong or he’s trusting the wrong people.
They have 45 days to respond. If they fail to? Whelp. The bill he just signed stands as law.
They don’t need the 45 days. They can write and deny a new bill tomorrow. That will make the bill he already signed the enforced version.
How he missed this I don’t know.
They can also not bother to do that much, and just ignore his request. There's no downside for them.
No, ignoring means they have to wait out 45 days. They don’t want that. They want money now. They will write and vote down a new bill. Guaranteed

4D chess man. its beyond you

He can't refuse to spend it. That's the point of the act. The article I linked specifically say the executive branch has to spend the money.

Full twitter thread:
Not virually unknown, Clinton asked for recissions.
Did he get them?
This is how I intrepreted it too, this should be stickied!
"Forcing them" is what I want to know more about.
