Summary
Proposing a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution of the United States.
Plain-language summary
This bill proposes adding a new to the U.S. Constitution that would require the federal government to balance its budget each year. A balanced budget means the government cannot spend more money than it takes in through taxes and other income. The amendment would need approval from two-thirds of both the House and Senate, then ratification by three-fourths of state legislatures to become part of the Constitution. The bill was introduced by Representative Nancy Mace and is currently in the early stage of consideration.
