Russ Feingold: In the News - Press Releases

Russ Feingold: In the News - Press Releases: "The Reduce Unnecessary Spending Act would enable any president to single out earmarks or other non-entitlement spending in legislation that arrives on his desk for signature.� The president could then send these specific items back to Congress for expedited votes on whether to cancel or reduce funding for the provision."

"Respect and preserve Congress’ constitutional responsibilities by requiring that both the House and Senate pass a rescission request before it can become law. If either the House or Senate votes against a rescission by a simple majority, it is not enacted."

Sound like it might work well.
