Bill > HJR1036

This joint resolution is an application to the United States Congress under Article V of the Constitution, proposing a constitutional amendment with two key provisions related to government funding and legislative accountability. First, the resolution seeks to prohibit compensation for the President, members of Congress (House and Senate), and Supreme Court Justices during government shutdowns, which are defined as periods when there is a lapse in federal agency funding due to failure to pass a balanced budget or continuing resolution. Second, the resolution mandates that if a balanced budget is not enacted by the last Thursday of March each year (with spending not exceeding the previous year's tax revenue), the President and all elected members of Congress would be ineligible for re-election in the following term. The United States Congress would be responsible for implementing and enforcing this potential constitutional amendment through appropriate legislation. This resolution represents an attempt to create stronger financial accountability and incentivize timely federal budget processes by directly linking legislative performance to potential electoral consequences.
