The so-called pocket rescission claws back money already appropriated by Congress, with little time for lawmakers to respond before the new fiscal year begins next week. The House is already out of town and not scheduled to return until after the November midterm elections. Top appropriators of both parties immediately denounced the move and accused the Trump administration of acting illegally by holding up and then canceling funds without congressional approval.
