Rescission bill

 * ... that U.S. President Donald Trump has proposed to revoke government funding using the rescission process, which was successfully used 461 times prior to 2000, but has never been attempted since then? Source:, p. 9, and  "This budget tool is not regularly used by a president, the last time was by the Clinton administration."

 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough (created by Antony-22 on 12 April 2018), long enough (2,400 characters  "readable prose size"), fully referenced. Hoo fine, supported by online source. QPQ done. No images in the article. Good to go.   Hawkeye7   (discuss)  06:51, 18 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this, but I do not see the 461 figure in any of the sources. Regarding links, the article is only linked to a disambiguation page; I would think you would link it in Appropriations bill (United States). Also, should this page be named Rescission bill (United States)? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 19:44, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
 * See the third page of Ref. 4 for the 461 figure. Disambiguation is not needed in the title because as far as I can tell rescission bills don't exist as a specific category in other countries.  I can add wikilinks to the article elsewhere but that's a bit beyond the scope of a DYK approval.  Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 14:38, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thanks, I was looking at the highlights page. I added this page as a see also to Appropriations bill (United States) so it won't get an orphan tag while on the main page. There's also a see also there for Authorization bill, so I think it fits. No problem about the page name. Restoring tick per Hawkeye7's review. Yoninah (talk) 16:45, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
