Bob Wise: “When the President sends his rescission, it is introduced as a bill in the House. It goes to committee, it must be acted…”

On the recordFebruary 3, 1995
When the President sends his rescission, it is introduced as a bill in the House. It goes to committee, it must be acted upon within 7 days, and it must be on the House floor within 10 days and voted on in the manner of any bill. The difference here in the Republican version is that the Republican version requires the Congress to act affirmatively to pass a resolution of disapproval. Assuming it passes both Houses, it then goes to the President, who then presumably vetoes it, and it must then be overridden by two-thirds.
