President Trump signed the COVID-19 Stimulus Relief Bill
last night as we reported earlier:
President Trump Signs $900 Billion Covid-19 Stimulus Relief
Bill
As the news of the signing comes to light, we see that
the President used a decades-old piece of legislation to make edits
to the bill and require additional actions from
Congress.
The President
released a statement along with the signing of the bill
[emphasis ours]:
As President, I have told Congress that I want far less wasteful
spending and more money going to the American people in the form of
$2,000 checks per adult and $600 per child.As President I am demanding many rescissions under the
Impoundment Control Act of 1974. The Act provides
that, “whenever the President determines that all or part of any
budget authority will not be required to carry out the full
objectives or scope of programs for which it is provided, or that
such budget authority should be rescinded for fiscal policy or
other reasons (including termination of authorized projects or
activities for which budget authority has been provided), the
President shall transmit to both Houses of Congress a special
message” describing the amount to be reserved, the relevant
accounts, the reasons for the rescission, and the economic effects
of the rescission. 2 U.S.C. § 683.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.I am signing this bill to restore unemployment benefits, stop
evictions, provide rental assistance, add money for PPP, return our
airline workers back to work, add substantially more money for
vaccine distribution, and much more.On Monday the House will vote to increase payments to
individuals from $600 to $2,000. Therefore, a family of four would
receive $5,200. Additionally, Congress has promised that
Section 230, which so unfairly benefits Big Tech at the
expense of the American people, will be reviewed and either be
terminated or substantially reformed.Likewise, the House and Senate have agreed to focus
strongly on the very substantial voter fraud which took place in
the November 3 Presidential election.The Senate will start the process for a vote that increases
checks to $2,000, repeals Section 230, and starts an investigation
into voter fraud.Big Tech must not get protections of Section 230!
Voter Fraud must be fixed!
Much more money is coming. I will never give up my fight for the
American people!
As the
Conservative Treehouse noted, it is questionable if Congress
will do anything with the President’s requests.
The bill had a veto-proof majority in both the House and
Senate so this was one opportunity for the President to highlight
needed changes to the garbage bill.
