In terms of procedure, is there anything in statutory law, which would prevent a follow-up piece of legislation next week?

In theory, the “Rand Paul Act of 2018” could itemize the most egregious domestic spending and foreign-aid pork-barrel items, and specifically repeal them with a GOP-majority house and 51-vote Senate vote?

Is that even possible? It would be popular to some.

Trump can use a provision of the 1974 Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act to request Congress rescind specific items. He should start immediately taking this action - start with some truly outrageous items that are included in the 2000+ page monstrosity. Congress will then have 45 days to approve his rescission request or the money will be spent.

Time to mobilize the troops to inundate Congress with support for individual rescissions. Force Lyan Ryan and Malleable McConnell to get a spine and at least clear out the waste.
