Asking this community because I dont know.
It occurred to me that this didn't matter because he plans to invoke it before the deadline. Additionally, the porkulus red lined tems that can be potentially ignored by Congress may either be moot because Congress itself will take a major hit before then or it is designed to be swamp draining phase 2 during his 2nd term where they follow the money.
Theories?

Wow.
Well that's a direct shot at the bow.
Gotta believe we see major action this week.
Can you explain what is going on? I am so confused.
Trump signed the crappy CARES Act, just so things can get moving. However, he also invoke a bill from 1974 that allows him to red line items in a budget that seem wrong to him, and he has 45 days to send his rescissions to Congress so they can fix the bill. He will take out the pork that was to be laundered and returned to the DS, and allow the good parts, like helping Americans, and will then try to get the amount to $2000 per person, and $600 per child. Brilliant!!
I get that part, but this letter seems to be in addition to the invocation of the Impoundment Act from 1974. It refers to the rescission.
Nice little sneak in there with this letter haha
Nice.
Can anyone explain the significance of this?
So I think people are confusing bills here, but correct me if I'm wrong. From my understand the 1974 act was for the spending bill. Not the NDAA which he vetoed and Congress is working to override this second.
Now I am fairly certain that insurrection act issue is not in the spending bill. I think it was in the NDAA. Anyone able to clarify?
