Trump averts shutdown, signs $2.3 trillion spending and COVID relief bill
Trump had refused to sign a Covid relief bill until Congress raised the amount of money paid to everyday Americans.
resident Trump on Sunday night signed a $2.3 trillion federal spending and COVID relief bill, averting a government shutdown and ensuring millions of Americans continue to get unemployment benefits.
Despite his misgivings about wasteful spending and low stimulus payments in the bill, Trump said he signed the legislation because “I have an obligation to protect the people of our country“ from further economic devastation. He said, however, “more money is coming” as Congress votes this week on larger checks.
The president on Sunday also invoked the 1974 Impoundment Control Act to demand “rescissions” be made to the spending measures. Under the Act, a president can seek congressional approval to rescind funds by sending a special message to Congress identifying the amount he proposes to cut, the reasons for it, and the economic impact.
“I will sign the Omnibus and Covid package with a strong message that makes clear to Congress that wasteful items need to be removed. I will send back to Congress a redlined version, item by item, accompanied by the formal rescission request to Congress insisting that those funds be removed from the bill,” Trump said.
The signing came after Trump tweeted, “Good news on Covid Relief Bill. Information to follow!”
The signing brought hope to millions of Americans who lost jobless benefits over the weekend as a federal shutdown loomed.
The standoff occurred after Trump refused before Christmas to sign the $2.3 trillion spending and COVID relief bill, demanding more money for everyday Americans.
Congress failed to address the president’s demands to increase the $600 stimulus checks to $2,000 per person.

"Yes. I've studied the ICA 1974, and what he did was epic! He used the law the Congress created to reign in Presidential powers, and instead followed it to the letter in order to back Congress into a corner. This was Chess at 5D levels."

"Don't tell me what I know to be true is false. I read the act and understand it, but clearly you don't. Congress ends noon on January 3rd, and if they don't vote to make the redline changes effective, the bill dies. The new Congress cannot vote on the previous Congress bill.
If they decide to pass on the redline Rescissions, they will kill the bill and it will be on their records. That's political suicide for many of them. They will be primaried if they don't pass because they didn't get their pork. It was 5D Chess by Trump.
He played them with their own politics. He followed the letter of the act and they're backed into a corner. Either they agree to his redline Rescissions (all of them), and he wins, or they sign their own political death warrants. That's why Dems and RINOs are so upset now."
