Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution

I am an original cosponsor of H.J.Res. 2, a resolution that proposes a balanced budget amendment to the U.S. Constitution.  In addition to directing the President to submit a balanced budget to Congress annually, H.J.Res. 2 requires that any federal spending beyond debt repayment which exceeds revenues for the year be authorized by a three-fifths vote of Congress.
