| 115-hres-564 | 115 | hres | 564 | Affirming the constitutional power of Congress over the Nation's debts. | Economics and Public Finance | 2017-10-10 | 2017-10-10 | Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means. | House | Rep. Jones, Walter B., Jr. [R-NC-3] | NC | R | J000255 | 8 | Affirms that: (1) the Constitution gives Congress power over the nation's debts; (2) limiting the debt is an essential exercise of this authority; and (3) removing limitations on the debt would inappropriately cede this authority, remove a critical check on future increases in deficit spending and the national debt, and potentially exacerbate the already unsustainable fiscal position of the United States and its national security. | 2023-01-11T13:38:19Z |
