GAO Declares Trump's $810 Million Funding Cancellation Unlawful
The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) has declared President Donald Trump's cancellation of approximately $810 million in federal funding through a "pocket rescission" unlawful. The GAO's lead attorney stated that the action violated the Impoundment Control Act of 1974, reinforcing Congress's constitutional authority over appropriations. This ruling underscores the ongoing institutional debate over presidential power to impound funds.

First off #congress enacted this as a check and balance on Traitor #nixon because Congressional representatives thought that Nixon had ABUSED his power of IMPOUNDMENT BY WITHHOLDING FUNDS FOR PROGRAMS HE OPPOSED. (Sound familiar? Maybe like #tog?)

The President can delay allocated funds through "impoundment,” but the 1974 #ImpoundmentControlAct limits this power, by requiring that any delay be temporary and that #Congress be informed.
