Fri, June 20, 2025:
OMB Director Russell Vought’s latest plan to attack Congress’ appropriations authority is the “pocket rescission.”  Under the 1974 Impoundment Control Act (ICA), when the President sends a rescission proposal to Congress, the funds are withheld for 45 days while Congress considers the proposal, but funds must be released if Congress does not enact the rescission. Vought is intending to send rescissions to Congress within 45 days of the end of the fiscal year, so that the funds are wittheld until September 30th, the last day of the fiscal year.  Vought calls this a “pocket rescission,” but it is clearly an end run around the requirements of the Impoundment Control Act. In 2018, the Government Accountability Office, ruled that “the ICA does not permit budget authority proposed for rescission to be withheld until its expiration simply because the 45-day period has not yet elapsed. A withholding of this nature would be an aversion both to the constitutional process for enacting federal law and to Congress’s constitutional power of the purse, for the President would preclude the obligation of budget authority Congress has already enacted and did not rescind.
