Object
Susan B. Anthony Home Restoration Line ($550,000)
A single printed appropriation line embedded in the Appropriations bill packet: terse program label 'Susan B. Anthony Home Restoration' followed by a bold, right‑aligned dollar figure — $550,000 — in a tabular budget column. The entry sits on stapled budget paper, small type and bureaucratic punctuation, and draws fingers and pointed glances as staff wave the line to emphasize contested spending.

Purpose
To allocate $550,000 in discretionary federal funds toward restoring the historic home of Susan B. Anthony, recorded as one-line budget language in the Appropriations packet.
Significance
Serves as a rhetorical 'pork' example and bargaining chip that threatens the Appropriations bill's passage; characters use the line to argue political risk, to persuade swing votes, and to frame public messaging about waste versus constituent priorities.
