Summary

What This Bill Does

This House resolution removes the Director of the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) effective immediately upon its adoption. It invokes the removal authority granted under Section 201(a)(4) of the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974.

Who Benefits and How

Members of Congress who seek new CBO leadership or who disagree with current CBO analyses and cost estimates benefit from the ability to replace the Director. A new Director could potentially produce analyses more aligned with the priorities of the current House majority.

Who Bears the Burden and How

The current CBO Director is directly affected by immediate removal from office. The CBO as an institution faces potential disruption during a leadership transition. The nonpartisan credibility of the CBO could also be burdened if the removal is perceived as politically motivated.

Key Provisions

  • Immediately removes the Director of the Congressional Budget Office upon adoption
  • Cites Section 201(a)(4) of the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 as legal authority
