Summary
The Responsible Budgeting Act modifies the debt limit process by creating two automatic mechanisms: (1) when Congress adopts a budget resolution that reduces the projected debt-to-GDP ratio by at least 5 percentage points, the debt limit automatically increases without a separate vote; and (2) if Congress fails to adopt such a budget by April 15 or 60 days before the debt limit is reached, the President may unilaterally increase the debt limit by submitting a debt reduction proposal, which takes effect after 30 days unless Congress passes a joint resolution of disapproval. The bill establishes expedited procedures for congressional consideration of any disapproval resolution.
