An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Please Block Trump’s Unconstitutional “Pocket Rescissions”

367 so far! Help us get to 500 signers!

I urge you to take every action possible to block Russell Vought and Donald Trump’s “pocket rescissions” scheme. Withholding funds Congress has already appropriated is unconstitutional, violates the separation of powers, and undermines Congress’s power of the purse. The Impoundment Control Act was designed to stop this kind of overreach, and the Supreme Court has already ruled against similar attempts in the past. Allowing this to proceed would set a dangerous precedent for our democracy. Thank you for your leadership. Please continue to push back—through oversight, legal action, or new legislation—to protect Congress’s constitutional authority. You have my full support.
