Let me pull up the Chip Roy quote, because I want you to see what this is about. Chip Roy is quoted here as one of the fiscal hawks leading GOP opposition to the bill.

The president has a little used power where he can say, I don't want any of this money to be spent anymore. I think this spending is crazy. We don't need to spend it.

That's a big deal.
