NEGATIVE War & Foreign Policy 119th Congress

H.R.4 Rescissions Act — Foreign Aid Cuts

Rescissions Act — cuts $7.9 billion in foreign aid including USAID, development assistance, and global health programs (119th Congress)

View on Congress.gov

Legal & Constitutional Grounding

Rescinding congressionally appropriated foreign aid undermines the Foreign Assistance Act framework.

Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, 22 U.S.C. § 2151 et seq. — authorizes development assistance, global health, and humanitarian programs being rescinded
  • Impoundment Control Act, 2 U.S.C. § 683 — rescission authority requires affirmative congressional action
  • U.S. Const. art. I, § 9, cl. 7 — Appropriations Clause vests spending power exclusively in Congress
