The so-called rescissions package seeks to claw back $9.4 billion lawmakers had authorized the executive branch to spend, and it would require only GOP votes to pass.

The White House has sent its long-awaited spending cuts request to Congress as it seeks to formalize a slew of DOGE slashes to federal funding.

The White House’s request to return appropriated funds is meant to comply with the 1974 Impoundment Control Act. That law created the process by which the president can formally disclose to Congress the appropriated money it intends to not spend. Congress then has 45 days to review and approve the request.
