ARTICLE ONE Act

HR10078referred2026-08-10

Dollar-for-Dollar Deficit Reduction Act

Dollar-for-Dollar Deficit Reduction Act The bill establishes a framework to require legislation that increases or suspends the public debt limit to include spending reductions that are equal to or greater than the projected increase in debt that will occur under the legislation. The bill allows the spending reductions to be phased in over the period that includes the current and next 10 fiscal years. Specifically, the bill requires the Department of the Treasury to notify the House Ways and Means Committee and the Senate Finance Committee when it determines that the federal government will reach the debt limit within 60 days without the implementation of extraordinary measures. The notification must also indicate when extraordinary measures may be necessary to prolong the funding of the federal government in the absence of a debt limit increase. In addition, the bill requires any formal presidential request to increase the debt limit to include (1) the amount of the proposed increase, and (2) proposed legislation to reduce spending by an amount that is equal to or greater than the amount of the requested increase. Finally, the bill establishes budget points of order that may be raised in the House of Representatives and the Senate against legislation that increases or suspends the debt limit and does not contain net spending reductions that are equal to or greater than the increase in the debt that will occur under the legislation.

Restoring Accountability in Appropriations Act

The proposal would allow private citizens and members of Congress to sue the federal government if it violates rules about how it spends money that Congress has already approved. Currently, only Congress as a whole can challenge when the president or agencies refuse to spend appropriated funds, but this change would give individuals and lawmakers the power to take legal action directly. The change aims to strengthen enforcement of spending laws by creating more ways to hold the government accountable when it withholds money Congress has already decided to allocate.
