The 1974 act and subsequent amendments are codified in 2 USC Sections 601 through 688. I haven’t gone through in detail but it appears 683 and 684 provide the process for the President to request rescission by a “special message” and at least section 688 governs the expedited process for consideration in each house and committee. Debate and amendment rules appear quite strict. Appears everything is a majority vote. No threat of filibuster appears available.

Thanks for the suggestion and the perspective.

Generally, I concur, but the procedural language is beyond my understanding at the present.

Sometimes, great notions are picked up by external media from FR.

It would be reassuring to hear at least a discussion of the possibility of reversals of some of the most egregious appropriations that we've just learned that were passed.

Will this prospect get a hearing from Rush? Tucker? Senator Ryan? We can only hope.
