Wrong

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."

A 2018 Government Accountability Office legal opinion

This is an OPINION written by a LEGISLATIVE body that is in no way legally binding. It was also opined on in 2018, PRIOR to the currently declared state of emergency that our country is in.

much appreciated but the rate at which people realize things before me makes me feel... dumb. I used to be stupid, but now I'm just dumb. Soon I'll be "slow." And that's just fine with me.

fiscal year doesn't end on dec 29. that ends in like september. The government shuts down for lack of funding on dec 29. Trump has basically "forced" congress to vote on some of these items imo.

These funds would not "expire" until at least the end of FY21 in September.

Stop spamming this same thing, it has no bearing.
