Nancy Marshall-Genzer: 我认为特朗普政府正在尝试利用一个被称为rescission的流程来取消国会批准的支出。这个流程允许总统向国会提出撤回资金的请求,一旦提出,相关资金将被冻结45天。由于国会拥有财政权,只有立法者才能真正撤回资金。政府发现的“漏洞”在于,他们可以在财政年度结束前不久提出rescission请求,即使国会否决,资金仍然会被冻结到财政年度结束,从而达到变相削减开支的目的。 Bobby Kogan: 我觉得他们好像发现了一个漏洞,即使国会否决,他们仍然可以通过rescission流程来暂停资金的使用。例如,如果在8月15日提出请求,国会在8月20日否决,但资金仍然可以被暂停45天,直到财政年度结束。这简直是一个疯狂的漏洞,但这就是他们的论点。
