“Don’t call my bluff”
RE: “Don’t call my bluff”
And what are you going to do about it if we do?
Sequestration is the law.
Sequestration can only be avoided if Congress passes legislation that undoes the legal requirement in the Budget Control Act of 2011
Can the Executive Branch reconfigure sequestration cuts?
No. The cuts are automatic, across-the-board reductions to all discretionary programs unless exempted by the BCA.
The Executive Branch will have no authority or ability to redistribute the cuts.
