| sequester |
The cancellation of spending authority as a disciplinary measure to corral spending above pre-set limits. Appropriations that exceed annual spending caps can trigger a sequester that would cut all appropriations by the amount of the excess. Similarly, tax cuts or new or expanded entitlement spending programs that are not offset under pay-as-you-go rules would trigger a sequester of non-exempt entitlement programs.
