MINORITY VIEWS

JURISDICTION AND FUNCTIONS OF THE COMMITTEE
The Congressional Budget Act of 1974 established the Committee
on the Budget. The Budget Committee is responsible for developing
and reporting the annual concurrent resolution on the budget
(budget resolution), assembling and reporting any reconciliation
legislation required by that resolution, and implementing and gov-
erning the congressional budget process generally. The Committee
Chairman is responsible for assessing the budgetary effects of legis-
lation under consideration in the House, monitoring such legisla-
tion for compliance with the terms of the budget resolution, and
providing updated information to the House with respect to budg-
etary aggregates and allocations.
In addition to its legislative duties, the Budget Committee has
responsibility for oversight and studies related to various aspects
of the budget process. The Budget Committee oversees the Con-
gressional Budget Office (CBO) and conducts oversight of budget
execution practices. As the Committee with oversight over the Fed-
eral budget in the broadest sense, it examines significant economic
and public policy issues and their implications for the Federal
budget. The Committee carries out these oversight and examina-

mation from executive branch agencies, requests to CBO and the
Government Accountability Office to research and analyze specific
topics, and Committee-generated analytic reports.
SUMMARY OF ACTIVITIES
MAJOR LEGISLATIVE INITIATIVES

H.R. 2021, INVESTING FOR THE PEOPLE ACT OF 2019

On April 2, 2019, Chairman Yarmuth introduced H.R. 2021, the
Investing for the People Act of 2019, a 2-year budget to provide for
and adjust discretionary funding levels for fiscal years 2020 and
2021. On April 3, 2019, the Budget Committee considered the bill
and ordered it to be reported favorably to the House by a roll call
vote of 19 Yeas to 17 Nays. The bill raises caps imposed on discre-
tionary spending by the Budget Control Act of 2011. In addition,
it includes two new adjustments to non-defense discretionary caps
to adequately fund the 2020 Census and reinvigorate Internal Rev-
enue Service enforcement capabilities.
BUDGET ENFORCEMENT RESOLUTION FOR FISCAL YEAR 2020

On April 8, 2019, Chairman Yarmuth introduced H. Res. 293, a
resolution providing for budget enforcement for Fiscal Year 2020
consistent with the Investing for the People Act of 2019 as reported
by the Budget Committee. It was adopted through H. Res. 294
(House Report 116–37) on April 9, 2019 by a roll call vote of 219
Yeas to 201 Nays (Roll No. 161).
H. Res. 293 establishes spending and revenue aggregates and
committee allocations, including an allocation for discretionary
spending for the Appropriations Committee. The resolution caps
Overseas Contingency Operations funds and includes two new ad-
justments to the discretionary allocations to adequately fund the
2020 Census and reinvigorate Internal Revenue Service enforce-
ment capabilities.
H.R. 3877, BIPARTISAN BUDGET ACT OF 2019

On July 23, 2019, Chairman Yarmuth introduced H.R. 3877, the
Bipartisan Budget Act of 2019 (BBA of 2019), which became Public
Law No. 116–37 on August 2, 2019. The BBA of 2019 amended the
Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 to in-
crease the discretionary spending limits for fiscal years 2020 and
2021.
The legislation also includes procedures to establish and enforce
congressional budgets for 2020 and 2021, including committee allo-
cations, aggregate spending and revenue levels, and limits on ad-
vance appropriations. In addition, it suspends the public debt limit
for 2 years to avoid default.
LEGISLATION REASSERTING CONGRESS’ POWER OF THE PURSE
PURSUANT TO ARTICLE I OF THE CONSTITUTION

H.R. 6628, CONGRESSIONAL POWER OF THE PURSE ACT

On April 28, 2020, Chairman Yarmuth introduced H.R. 6628, the
Congressional Power of the Purse Act. The legislation reclaims

Congress’ Constitutional spending authority by restoring Congress’
central role in funding decisions, increasing transparency in the ex-
ecutive branch, and safeguarding the nation’s separation of powers.
H.R. 8363, PROTECTING OUR DEMOCRACY ACT

Chairman Yarmuth was an original sponsor of H.R. 8363, the
Protecting Our Democracy Act, introduced on September 23, 2020.
The bill is a landmark reform package that will prevent future
Presidential abuse and specifically strengthens Congress’ power of
the purse by enhancing the Impoundment Control Act of 1974.
OTHER LEGISLATIVE ACTIVITIES

H. Res. 6, Adopting Rules for the 116th Congress
The organizing resolution (H. Res. 6) adopted by the House on
January 9, 2019, contained several provisions related to the con-
gressional budget process. H. Res. 6 provides that the Rules of the
115th Congress are the Rules of the 116th Congress with amend-
ments.
H. Res. 6 removes the macroeconomic scoring analysis require-
ment for the Congressional Budget Office and Joint Committee on
Taxation when preparing estimates on the budgetary effects of
major legislation.
H. Res. 6 also removes the point of order prohibiting amend-
ments to general appropriation bills that propose a net increase in
the level of budget authority in a bill to allow amendments that in-
crease spending without offsetting that increase, so long as the
amendment does not cause the bill to exceed 302(a) or 302(b) budg-
et allocations.
Further, H. Res. 6 reinstates a Pay-As-You-Go (PAYGO) rule.
The provision establishes a point of order against any measure that
has a net effect of increasing the deficit or reducing the surplus
over two periods: (1) the current fiscal year, the budget year, and
the four fiscal years following that budget year; and (2) the current
fiscal year, the budget year, and the nine fiscal years following that
budget year. The provision provides that net budgetary effects will
be determined relative to baseline estimates provided by the Con-
gressional Budget Office consistent with section 257 of the Bal-
anced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, but pro-
vides that if a measure is considered pursuant to a special order
that instructs the Clerk of the House to add the measure to an-
other measure passed by the House, then the net budgetary effects
of the entire package will be considered. Finally, the provision pro-
vides for exemptions to PAYGO for provisions designated as emer-
gencies in legislation.
In addition, H. Res. 6 provides that when the House adopts a
budget resolution, a separate joint resolution suspending the Fed-
eral debt limit through September 30th of the budget year is
deemed to have passed the House by the same vote and is en-
grossed separately and sent to the Senate.
H. Res. 6 also includes separate orders relating to budget proc-
ess. It provides that any general appropriation bill or joint resolu-
tion continuing appropriations, or amendment thereto or conference
report thereon, may not provide an advance appropriation for a
program, project, activity, or account, unless it has been identified

in a statement submitted for printing in the Congressional Record
by the Chair of the Committee on the Budget. Further, it provides
that in the first session of the 116th Congress and prior to the
adoption of a Fiscal Year 2019 budget resolution, the provisions of
H. Con. Res. 71, from the 115th Congress, pursuant to section
30104(f)(1) of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, will no longer be
in effect except for sections 5201, 5202, 5203, and 5401.

BUDGET TRACKING AND ENFORCEMENT

The Committee on the Budget worked with authorizing commit-
tees and the Appropriations Committee to monitor legislation and
evaluate its compliance with H. Res. 293, the BBA of 2019, the
Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010, and any budget related pro-
visions of the Rules of the House. Pursuant to provisions of the
Congressional Budget Act, the Chairman periodically published
budgetary status reports in the Congressional Record (see Appen-
dix 1). Pursuant to the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act, the Chair-
man published estimates of the PAYGO budgetary effects of legis-
lation being considered in the House (see Appendix 2).
OVERSIGHT ACTIVITIES

The primary responsibility of the Budget Committee is the devel-
opment of a budget resolution that sets spending and revenue lev-
els in aggregate and across all budget functions. The budget func-
tions encompass all Federal programs or activities other than those
that are defined as off-budget, such as Social Security and the
Postal Service, and those that are considered non-budgetary, such
as the Federal Reserve.
The Budget Committee’s formal oversight responsibility focuses
on laws governing the budget process and the agencies responsible
for administering elements of those laws. The Committee’s commu-
nication with CBO and the executive branch is outlined in Appen-
dix 3, and bills referred to the Committee are outlined in Appendix
4. Under clause 1(d)(1)–(3) of House Rule X, the major laws falling
within its oversight include the Budget and Accounting Act of 1921,
the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974,
the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985,
the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990, the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go
Act of 2010, the Budget Control Act of 2011, and the BBA of 2019.
The two agencies with primary responsibility for administering ele-
ments of these laws and hence which fall under the Committee’s
jurisdiction are the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and
CBO.

The Committee was active in its oversight duties during the
116th Congress. The Committee focused on oversight of the full
budget, particularly looking at issues of potential impact on the
budget and economy over the longer term, including immigration,
climate change, health care, and tax policy (see list of hearings).
The House Budget Committee met on January 29, 2019, to orga-
nize for the 116th Congress. The Committee adopted its rules of
procedure and in accordance with clause 2(d) of House Rule X, sub-
mitted the oversight plan, along with minority views, to the Com-
mittee on Oversight and Reform and the Committee on House Ad-
ministration. The priorities of the oversight plan include holding
hearings and receiving testimony from Members of Congress, Cabi-
net-level and other Federal officials, and expert witnesses to review
the President’s budget submissions and to review other budget pri-
orities.
The Committee’s oversight plan calls for focusing on how a range
of issues, including immigration, climate change, health care, and
tax policy, impact the Federal budget. The oversight plan also calls
for the continuous assessment of the performance of Federal agen-
cies in both administration and service delivery by reviewing per-
formance data in the President’s budget submissions and the rel-
evant reports and audits of the Government Accountability Office
and the Offices of the Inspectors General. In addition, it calls for
the Budget Committee to review Views and Estimates that are sub-
mitted to the Committee pursuant to section 301(d) of the Congres-
sional Budget Act, to coordinate its oversight activities with other
committees.
With regard to budget enforcement, the Committee’s oversight
plan calls for ongoing oversight of the OMB implementation of
budget submission, control, execution, and enforcement of proce-
dures under the Budget and Accounting Act of 1921, the Congres-
sional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974, the Budget
Enforcement Act of 1990, the Balanced Budget and Emergency Def-
icit Control Act of 1985, the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010,
the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, and other applicable laws. In
addition, the Committee’s oversight plan calls for examining the ac-
curacy, timeliness, and responsiveness of OMB.
The Budget Committee’s plan also calls for working with the ap-
propriations and authorizing committees to ensure that spending
and tax legislation does not breach the levels set in the budget res-
olution, as required under sections 302(f) and 311(a) of the Con-
gressional Budget Act of 1974. The Committee also monitored com-
pliance with the House Pay-As-You-Go (PAYGO) rule requiring
that direct spending increases and revenue losses be offset with ei-
ther direct spending reductions or revenue increases.
APPOINTMENT OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET
OFFICE

On May 15, 2019, Dr. Phillip Swagel was jointly appointed by
the Speaker of the House of Representatives and President pro
tempore of the Senate as the Director of CBO, effective June 3,

ment was made on Chairman Enzi’s recommendation and sup-

MINORITY VIEWS

SUMMARY REPORT
Since taking the House Majority in the 116th Congress, House
Democrats have failed to govern and failed to do their job—to write
and pass a budget resolution, the primary responsibility of the
Budget Committee. Instead of fulfilling its chief responsibility for
two consecutive years, Committee Democrats focused Committee
business on partisan policy hearings (that more appropriately
should have been conducted by the relevant authorizing commit-
tees of jurisdiction) and completely neglected to address the Na-
tion’s fiscal challenges.
Before the COVID–19 pandemic attacked the Nation, the Federal
Government was on a fiscally unsustainable path; the deficit for
Fiscal Year 2019 was an overwhelming $1 trillion. Today the Con-
gressional Budget Office (CBO) is projecting the deficit for Fiscal
Year 2020 to be $3.1 trillion, more than triple last year’s deficit
and by far the highest in American history. Public debt is projected
to be larger than the size of the entire economy in Fiscal Year
2021—104 percent of gross domestic product (GDP)—and will con-
tinue to increase to more than $33 trillion by Fiscal Year 2030 (109
percent of GDP). Given the dire fiscal trajectory we face, it is dis-
concerting that, as of the writing of the Minority views, there is
still no budget resolution in place for the current fiscal year.
LEGISLATION
H.R. 2021, INVESTING FOR THE PEOPLE ACT OF 2019

In April 2019, the Democratic Majority decided to curtail the
budget process by introducing and marking up H.R. 2021—legisla-
tion to increase the discretionary spending limits for Fiscal Year
2020 and Fiscal Year 2021—rather than writing a budget resolu-
tion. H.R. 2021 failed to address 10-year discretionary spending,
mandatory spending, and revenues, in addition to other key budget
resolution requirements that establish a fiscal framework for sub-
sequent spending and revenue legislation. Budget Committee Re-
publicans offered a motion to postpone the markup of H.R. 2021 to
provide the Democratic Majority additional time to write a budget
resolution. The Democratic Majority rejected this motion. Repub-
licans offered several amendments including ones to align the Fis-
cal Year 2020 discretionary spending limits with the President’s
Fiscal Year 2020 budget request; require offsets in mandatory
spending for the increases made to the discretionary spending lim-
its; and extend the discretionary spending limits beyond Fiscal
(38)

Year 2021. All amendments offered by the Republican Minority
were rejected.
Unlike past legislation to increase the discretionary spending
limits, H.R. 2021 lacked bipartisan input and participation by the
Administration. The House ultimately never considered H.R. 2021.
H.R. 3877, BIPARTISAN BUDGET ACT OF 2019

In July 2019, the House of Representatives considered H.R. 3877,
the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2019, which increased the discre-
tionary spending limits for Fiscal Year 2020 and Fiscal Year 2021.
Congressional leaders and the Administration negotiated H.R.
3877, which passed the House on July 25, 2019, with a bipartisan
vote of 284 yeas and 149 nays. House Budget Committee Chairman
John Yarmuth (D–KY) and Ranking Member Steve Womack (R–
AR) each managed bill debate on the House floor. President Trump
signed H.R. 3877 into law on August 2, 2019.
BUDGET PROCESS REFORM LEGISLATION

The congressional budget process is broken. Fiscal Year 1995
was the last time Congress adhered to the budget timetable and
deadlines—as defined in statute—by adopting a conferenced budget
resolution followed by individual appropriations bills to fund the
Federal Government before the start of the fiscal year. Since then,
the Federal Government has been routinely operating via ad hoc
budget procedures including continuing resolutions and omnibus
appropriations bills. Clearly, the budget process established in the
Congressional Budget Act of 1974 needs to be reformed to ensure
we have a process that not only works, but also one which can suc-
cessfully correct the current fiscal trajectory.
Instead of focusing on budget process reform legislation to fix the
broken congressional budget process through bipartisan solutions,
Committee Democrats took a partisan approach by introducing
H.R. 6628, the Congressional Power of the Purse Act. H.R. 6628
was limited in scope and focused solely on authority over congres-
sional spending and the separation of powers. It ultimately failed
to address the more pressing budget challenges including continu-
ously missed deadlines in adopting a budget resolution and funding
the government. Most of the reforms proposed in H.R. 6628 were
in response to actions taken by the Trump Administration. H.R.
6628 established an expiration date for any Presidential declara-
tion of a national emergency, created burdensome requirements for
making various executive branch agency documents and informa-
tion publicly available, among other reforms targeted at the execu-
tive branch.
Budget Committee Republicans repeatedly expressed interest in
budget process reform and a majority of Republican Members intro-
duced pieces of bipartisan reform legislation. In the 116th Con-
gress, Budget Committee Republicans introduced several bills fo-
cused on reforming the broken budget process. These include:
• H.R. 3982, STEWARD Act, sponsored by Representative
Bill Flores (TX–17), established procedures for Congress to set
limits on discretionary spending.

• H.R. 4071, sponsored by Representative William Timmons
(SC–4),1 required the budget resolution to include a rec-
ommended ratio of the public debt to estimated GDP for each
fiscal year covered by the budget resolution.
• H.R. 5178, sponsored by Representative Tim Burchett
(TN–2), established a debt-to-GDP ratio in the budget resolu-
tion and expedited procedures to recommend changes in law to
meet these debt-to-GDP ratios.
• H.R. 4959, Pro-Growth Budgeting Act, sponsored by Rep-
resentative Kevin Hern (OK–1), required estimates of major
legislation prepared by the Congressional Budget Office or
Joint Committee on Taxation to include macroeconomic effects.
• H.R. 4115, sponsored by Representative Bill Johnson (OH–
6), established a point of order prohibiting the consideration of
legislation that increased long-term direct spending by more
than $5 billion in any of the four decades after the budget win-
dow.
• H.R. 3979, BASIC Act, sponsored by Representative Dan
Meuser (PA–9), required estimates of legislation prepared by
the Congressional Budget Office or Joint Committee on Tax-
ation to include the costs of servicing the public debt.
• H.R. 4559, End-of-Year Fiscal Responsibility Act, spon-
sored by Representative Dan Crenshaw (TX–2), prohibited ex-
ecutive branch agencies from spending more in each of the last
2 months of a fiscal year than the agency’s average monthly
spending for the previous 10 months.
• H.R. 5490, sponsored by Representative Chris Stewart
(UT–2), required the President’s annual budget submission to
include an estimate of the cost per taxpayer of the deficit and
the public debt.
• H.R. 5220, AFTER Appropriations Act, sponsored by Rep-
resentative Ralph Norman (SC–5), provided for a legislative
line-item veto to expedite the consideration of rescissions and
cancellation of new direct spending and limited tax benefits.
