on edit:
and when i say "adding" i mean cutting some of the good stuff

double edit: in this bill congress cedes power to trump/the power of the purse.



Republicans Quietly Cede Power to Cancel Trump’s Tariffs, Avoiding a Tough Vote
House G.O.P. leaders tucked the provision into a procedural measure needed to pass a government spending bill.

House Republican leaders on Tuesday quietly moved to shield their members from having to vote on whether to end President Trump’s tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China, tucking language into a procedural measure that effectively removed their chamber’s ability to undo the levies.

The maneuver was a tacit acknowledgment of how politically toxic the issue had become for their party, and another example of how the all-Republican Congress is ceding its power to the executive branch.

In this case, Republican leaders did so using a particularly unusual contortion: They essentially declared the rest of the year one long day, nullifying a law that allows the House and Senate to jointly put an end to a disaster declared by the president.
