Republicans propose blocking SOTU speech if president doesn’t submit budget on time
Fox News
Some Republicans in Congress want to hold Biden and future presidents accountable to the budget deadline with a simple penalty. No plans on time, no grand speech.
The Budget and Accounting Act of 1921 – updated several times – requires a president to submit his budget request to Congress no later than the first Monday in February. The National Security Act of 1947 requires the president to submit a national security proposal for the same day. But there is no enforcement mechanism for either, which is where the SUBMIT IT Act could come in.
"President Biden’s budget was due on Feb. 5, yet Congress has seen nothing," Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga., who sponsored the bill, told Fox News Digital.
