Bullshit. Simply not signing the bill would have done the job because this congress is over and thus the next congress would have had to come up with a new bill. Sorry to say it, but Trump sold us out, well knowing these red lined items are nothing congress is required to address. It's simply to calm us down. Enjoy your $600 worth of crumbs, peasant, because that's all you'll get.
You are very mistaken. The bill was not a Budget Bill, it was a combined Omnibus bill. In a Budget bill, Trump cannot reallocate funds but in an Omnibus bill he CAN.
Trump has full control over whether or not Pakistan gets $170,000,000, or .17 cents.
By impounding KEY unwanted aspects of the bill, this is similar to the old Line Item Veto, the signing is contingent on the impounded issues being remedied. All unimpounded items are passed immediately. So if Congress only passes the $2000 per person, but leaves the bullshit PORK inside the Omnibus aspect will allow Trump 45 days to allow funds to push through, or reallocate.
