Trump, GOP could claw back omnibus spending with little-used budget tool


(Worthy News) – President Trump and congressional Republicans could claw back parts of the just-signed spending bill for fiscal 2018 using a budget tool that has fallen into disuse in recent decades.

Congressional conservatives want Trump to use the 1974 Impoundment Act to rescind some spending authorized by the $1.3 trillion government appropriations bill, and White House officials are weighing doing so.

Congress could approve any spending revocations Trump proposes with a simple majority in both chambers. That allows Republicans more flexibility than in passing the spending bill, a process that was subject to a Democratic filibuster in the Senate and thus required negotiations with Democrats.
