Presidential Accountability for Timely US Budget Submission
This bill aims to ensure the President of the United States submits the annual budget to Congress on time. If the budget is late, salaries and expenses for certain political employees will not be paid with federal funds until the budget is submitted. This seeks to increase accountability and timeliness in the budget process, indirectly affecting public financial stability.
Key points
If the President fails to submit the budget by the first Monday in February, salaries and expenses for certain political employees will be withheld.
Withheld salaries will be paid once the budget is submitted, regardless of standard pay dates.
This applies to high-ranking officials and confidential or policy-determining positions within the executive branch.
