由于无法阻止总统取消8.1亿美元的资金，共和党议员们正希望阻止其再次尝试。
Unable to stop the president from nixing $810 million, GOP lawmakers are hoping to head off another attempt.
议员们对唐纳德·特朗普总统最近对国会拨款权的挑战感到愤怒，并已在策划如何在未来阻止他——这一举动将要求共和党人违抗他们自己党派的旗手。
Lawmakers are fuming over President Donald Trump’s latest challenge to Congress’ funding power and already plotting to stop him in the future — a move that would require Republicans to buck their own party’s standard-bearer.
特朗普周五宣布，他单方面取消了国会为特定项目制定的总计8.1亿美元的资金。这是他在两年内第二次使用“口袋撤销”策略自动收回联邦资金。
Trump declared Friday that he unilaterally nixed a total of $810 million across several pots of cash Congress enacted for specific programs. It’s the second time in two years he has deployed the “pocket rescission” tactic to automatically claw back federal funds.
现在议员们已无法阻止这笔资金在周三深夜财政年度结束时失效：众议院已休会至中期选举后，且国会几周前通过了一项短期拨款补丁以维持政府运作至12月中旬，从而放弃了一个关键的杠杆。
It’s now too late for lawmakers to stop that money from expiring when the fiscal year ends late Wednesday: The House has adjourned until after the midterms, and Congress relinquished a key piece of leverage by clearing a short-term funding patch weeks ago to keep government operations afloat through mid-December.
但两党议员都在讨论如何防止特朗普在其总统任期的最后两年绕过国会拨款程序。
But lawmakers in both parties are talking about ways to prevent Trump from circumventing the congressional funding process during the final two years of his presidency.
