Bill Sponsorship: Balanced Budget Amendment
Source: H.J.Res.2
    Proposing a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution of the United States:
  • Prohibits outlays for a fiscal year (except those for repayment of debt principal) from exceeding total receipts for that fiscal year (except those derived from borrowing) unless Congress, by a 3/5ths rollcall vote of each chamber, authorizes a specific excess of outlays over receipts.
  • Requires a 3/5ths rollcall vote of each chamber to increase the public debt limit.
  • Directs the President to submit a balanced budget to Congress annually.
  • Prohibits any bill to increase revenue from becoming law unless approved by a majority of each chamber by rollcall vote.
  • Authorizes waivers of these provisions when a declaration of war is in effect or under other specified circumstances involving military conflict.
RESOLVED by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled (2/3rds of each House concurring therein), That the article is proposed as an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which shall be valid to all intents and purposes as part of the Constitution when ratified by the legislatures of 3/4ths of the several States within 7 years after the date of its submission for ratification.

This article shall take effect beginning with the later of the second fiscal year beginning after its ratification or the first fiscal year beginning after December 31, 2016. Updated to include 2017 version, H.J.Res.29
