(119th Congress)
Summary
H.Res.313 provides for the consideration of the Senate amendment to H.Con.Res.14, which establishes the congressional budget for the US government for fiscal year 2025 and sets budgetary levels for fiscal years 2026 through 2034. The resolution outlines the procedures for the House to consider the Senate's changes to the budget resolution. It also addresses the timeline concerning the termination of a national emergency declared by the President.
Expected Effects
If adopted, H.Res.313 will allow the House to vote on the Senate amendment to the budget resolution. This will enable Congress to finalize the budget framework for fiscal year 2025 and set the stage for future budgetary decisions. The resolution also temporarily suspends the calendar day count related to the termination of a declared national emergency.
Potential Benefits
- Facilitates the budget process by allowing the House to consider the Senate amendment.
- Establishes a framework for government spending for fiscal year 2025 and beyond.
- Provides clarity on the process for terminating a national emergency.
- Ensures that the House can efficiently address budgetary matters.
- Potentially leads to more stable and predictable government funding.
Potential Disadvantages
- The budget resolution itself may contain provisions that are detrimental to certain sectors or groups.
- The expedited process may limit thorough debate and consideration of alternative proposals.
- The suspension of the calendar day count for terminating a national emergency could prolong the emergency powers of the President.
- Potential for partisan gridlock during the consideration of the Senate amendment.
- The budget levels set may not adequately address future economic or social needs.
Constitutional Alignment
The resolution itself is procedurally aligned with the Constitution, particularly Article I, Section 5, which grants each house of Congress the power to determine the rules of its proceedings. The establishment of a budget aligns with Congress's power of the purse, as outlined in Article I, Section 9, Clause 7, which requires appropriations made by law. The temporary suspension of the calendar day count related to the termination of a national emergency is a legislative action within the powers granted to Congress.
