If Susan Collins really believed this, she would have insisted on language in the last appropriations bill eliminating any ambiguity in the Impoundment Control Act and thus making clear there is no pocket rescission loophole. wapo.st/4rAcqQG
“Without warning or consultation, Congress just received an $810 million package of pocket rescissions from the Administration. This is the most recent attempt by this Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to undermine Congress’s Constitutional power of the purse,” Collins said in a statement.
