What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis joint resolution proposes changing the Constitution to give the President the power to cut specific spending amounts from bills passed by Congress. If the President uses this power, they must tell Congress within 10 days. Congress can then vote to overturn the President's cut, but it takes a two-thirds vote in both the House and Senate to restore the original spending amount.
