Summary

This bill would repeal the Impoundment Control Act of 1974, a law that restricts the President's authority to refuse to spend funds appropriated by Congress. The Impoundment Control Act currently requires the President to obtain congressional approval before rescinding (canceling) appropriated funds or deferring their use. Repealing the act would eliminate these restrictions, allowing the President to impound appropriated funds without congressional approval. The bill was introduced in February 2025 and referred to the Budget and Rules committees. No other provisions or effective date specifications are included in the bill text.
