Presidential Assent

PRESIDENTIAL ASSENT​

---

This Act appropriates $9,304,444 for the fiscal month of September 2026, of which $1,015,000 is restricted to stated purposes and returns to the Government balance if unspent.

I grant assent for two reasons.

First, the figures are the ones the recovery requires. Commerce again receives the largest departmental allocation, the remaining departments are funded to operate rather than expand, and the Presidential Reserve is held at $500,000 and will be accounted for in the budget channel like every other expenditure.

Second, unlike last month, this budget was written in Congress rather than in the Executive. Section 7 requires a stated reason for every expenditure, and Section 10 confines the additional allocations to the Department of Education and the Department of the Interior to trade payments and to Crazy Farmer Tommy alone. Congress has funded the Executive and constrained it in the same Act, which is the correct order of things.

My thanks to Deputy Speaker HatManMC for authoring and sponsoring it, Speaker _GreyMC for co-sponsoring, and Chief of Staff winterwolf for his review.

Redmont's finances remain under strain. This budget keeps the government running, and it will be reported on honestly as the month proceeds.

This bill has been granted assent and is hereby signed into law.

A BILL TO

GIVE MONEY TO THE DHS, BECAUSE THEY SOMEHOW NEED IT

Presidential Assent

PRESIDENTIAL ASSENT​

---

The DHS Emergency Appropriations Act amends the Appropriations Act for September 2026 in two places. The Department of Homeland Security's line in Part II, §4(2) rises from $400,000 to $1,200,000, and the Presidential Reserve in Part II, §5(1) rises from $500,000 to $750,000. The Department exhausted its September line partway through the month. Its outgoings are mostly commissions to its officers, which are payable as Congress has set them and rise with activity, and the line was set below what a busy month costs. I drew on the Presidential Reserve under §5(1) to keep the Department's officers paid while Congress considered this Bill. Congress has now funded the Department for the balance of the month and put the reserve back where it needs to be. That is the right response, and it came quickly.

I record the following for Congress and for the Office of Congressional Affairs. These are not conditions of my assent.

1. The Bill changes two figures and nothing else. Every other line of the Appropriations Act continues to read as enacted. If the Act carries a summary total, it should be read as increased by $1,050,000 in consequence, since the itemised lines control.

2. The draws I made from the Presidential Reserve to the Department before this assent were made under §5(1) as it then stood and are not disturbed by this Act. The new reserve figure is the appropriation for the month, and the sums already drawn count against it.

3. A department whose spending is commission-driven will run short whenever a flat monthly line is set from a quiet month. The next Appropriations Act should size the Department's line to its commission bill, and the Department should report its commission spend to Congress monthly so that the line can be set from evidence rather than from the previous Act.

4. This is the last appropriation I expect to sign as President. I would have preferred it not be an emergency one, but an emergency that Congress fixes inside a week is the system working.

Accordingly, I assent to this Bill, and it is enacted as law.

I thank DPOS _GreyMC for authoring the Bill, Deputy Speaker EmeraldGuuy for sponsoring it, and Senator Stanley582 and Representatives Dogen851, lovepurplepoodle and rhein_FM for co-sponsoring it.

Given under my hand and the Seal of the President on 21 September 2026
