Bipartisan commission to tackle national debt
If enacted, this bill would create a 16-member bipartisan Fiscal Commission within 60 days of enactment. Two co-chairs, one from each party, would lead it; only sitting lawmakers would vote, and outside experts would advise but not vote. Its goals would be debt at or below 100% of GDP by fiscal year 2039 and 75-year solvency for federal trust-fund programs. It would hold at least six public hearings, consider economic effects, and take committee input within 60 days; CBO estimates must be shared 48 hours before any vote. A final report and bill text would need a bipartisan majority (including at least two Republican and two Democratic appointees), be released publicly within 24 hours, and be sent to top leaders within 3 days. The vote window would be Nov 4–13, 2026, with a possible extension to Apr 13, 2027; expenses would be paid in equal shares by the House and Senate, a public awareness campaign would follow within 30 days, and the Commission would end 30 days after it files its report.
Fast-track votes on commission plan
If enacted, Congress would fast‑track any bill that contains only the Commission’s approved text. In the House, leaders would introduce it by the third legislative day; committees would have 5 legislative days to report or be discharged; debate would be limited to 2 hours; no amendments. In the Senate, the bill would go straight to the Calendar; the motion to proceed would not be debatable; amendments and dilatory motions would be out of order. If one chamber later receives the other’s identical bill, that version would replace the local bill at the vote; this replacement rule would not apply in the House for revenue bills.
