You really should read up on the Impoundment Control Act of 1974, that Trump invoked when he signed the bill. As I understand it, the $2000 is about the only thing in the bill that is authorized. Virtually everything else was redlined, meaning it must be renegotiated. So the payments to citizens can happen ASAP, everything else must go through the process again. And since queen Nancy is already on record supporting the $2000 amount, she will have to force a smile while she watches Trump outsmart her.

Dude, I know we love trump but you can't just go around changing facts. In 45 days, if congress chooses not to address the redlined issues, the bill passes as is. Fuck all

NOPE - doesn't work that way.

The $2k isn't part of what he signed today. Only the $600. Dems will likely vote on the standalone $2k request tomorrow but the GOP Senate are just as likely to not even bring it to a vote.

As for all the other requests by Trump they are just that - requests. After 45 days the bill he signed today AS-IS, goes into full effect.

He should have vetoed it and made Congress vote to override the veto IMO.
