On June 3, The White House sent a request to clawback $9.4 billion in federal spending including for a global AIDS program, NPR, and PBS. Congress must pass it within 45 days for it to take affect. The deadline is July 18.

On June 12, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the rescission package in a 214–212 vote.

As of July 10, the Senate has not yet voted on it.

Info from a news article:


> Congress has until the end of the day on July 18 to get the legislation to President Donald Trump’s desk, or the rescissions request expires, forcing the administration to spend the money as Congress originally intended. And assuming the Senate does make changes, it would bounce the legislation back to the House for a final vote. Senate leaders are gambling that their counterparts across the Capitol will just swallow those revisions.

Resolves YES if the Senate passes the bill unchanged by the end of July 18 (ET)

Resolves YES if the Senate passes a changed version of the bill but the House passes the same version as the Senate by the end of July 18 (ET)

Resolves NO if neither happens by the end of July 18 (ET)

It is not clear to me if the legal deadline is for both chambers of Congress to pass the bill or for President Trump to sign the bill. However, in the unlikely event that both chambers of Congress pass the same version of the bill before midnight on July 18 but the President does not sign it before midnight, this resolves YES.
