President Trump just invoked the Impoundment Control Act of 1974 while signing the COVID bill. This allows 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.
Trump put our fate in congresses hands. Hope your freedom was worth $600
It doesn't force anything, it gives congress the power to decide what goes and what stays.
They fucked us already and they will do it again
It doesn't "force" Congress to do anything. It's a 45 day request. Your post is misinformation.
"It also signals his intent to invoke other laws in the coming weeks." Sounds like a larp to me. how does that signal fucking anytghing?
