US Congress HR4139

A bill to amend the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 to require a two-thirds vote in both the House and the Senate for the adoption of a budget resolution which includes or would result in a Federal deficit of more than 2 percent, to require that any such resolution contain language either expressly affirming the necessity of such deficit or attributing an equal amount of deficit (in the form of unspecified budget outlays) to one or more future fiscal years, to impose similar requirements upon the passage of any bill that would add to such deficit, and for other purposes.
