Affirming the constitutional power of Congress over the Nation’s debts.

H. Res. 564 · 115th Congress · Oct 10, 2017 · Lineage

RESOLUTION

That the House of Representatives affirms that—
(1)
the Constitution gives Congress power over the Nation’s debts;
(2)
placing limitations on the debt is an essential exercise of Congress’ constitutional authority; and
(3)
removing limitations on the debt would—
(A)
inappropriately cede Congress’ constitutional authority;
(B)
remove a critical check on future increases in deficit spending and the national debt; and
(C)
potentially exacerbate the already unsustainable fiscal position of the United States, and as a consequence, its national security.
