Law

Rep. Mills introduced a plan to immediately fire the head of the Congressional Budget Office. This office is a non-partisan group that acts like a referee for the government, telling lawmakers how much new bills will cost and how they will affect the economy.
The proposal uses a 1974 law that allows Congress to remove the director from their position. If the House of Representatives passes this resolution, the director would be forced to leave their job as soon as the vote is over.
This move is significant because the budget office provides the official numbers used to debate taxes, healthcare, and the national debt. Changing the leadership could influence how the government calculates the financial impact of future laws.
