§ 03
SUMMARY
WHAT THIS CHANGES
This amendment would have prevented the President or federal agencies from delaying or canceling government spending in the final three months of the budget year. It aimed to ensure that money Congress approved for programs like schools or the military is actually spent before it expires.
§ 04
KEY POINTS
3POINT 01
Protects end-of-year spending
The final 90 days are the most critical for agencies to finish projects before their funding expires.
POINT 02
Limits executive 'impoundment'
It prevents the President from using delays to effectively veto spending that was already signed into law.
POINT 03
Ruled out of order
The Senate did not vote on the idea itself, but rather rejected it for not meeting technical rules.
