As the senator representing … the oldest state in the nation, this is a particular concern.
Any effort to rescind appropriated funds without congressional approval is a clear violation of the law.
Pocket rescissions are illegal, in my judgment, and contradict the will of Congress and the constitutional authority of Congress to appropriate funds.
