Budget Resolution
A Budget Resolution is a congressional decision that outlines the federal government's spending and revenue goals for a fiscal year. It serves as a framework for the budget process, guiding lawmakers on how much money can be allocated to various programs and services. The resolution does not require the President's approval and is not legally binding.
The Budget Resolution typically includes targets for spending, revenue, and the federal deficit. It helps set priorities for government funding and can influence decisions on issues like taxes and social programs. Once passed, it allows Congress to move forward with appropriations bills that detail specific funding levels.
