Remove the federal law that limits the ability of the president to withhold or delay spending of appropriated funds.
One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.
What’s happening with this effort?
The effort to change federal spending laws is stalled in the House Budget and Rules committees as of June 2026. The House committee chairs must schedule a vote to move H.R. 1180 forward, but the binding constraint is that most bills never receive a committee vote. This lack of action is the standard way the vast majority of legislation ends in Congress.
